Expansion of Care Home Services for People Aged 16 upwards Framework Agreement

The Council wishes to expand its Care Home Services Framework Agreement (project reference DN316366). The Framework Agreement allows the Council to engage with suitably qualified providers who are already providing Care Home Services to existing Service Users, the majority of whom will be aged under 65 when placed. The Council wishes to update existing contract terms and conditions, or renew existing packages of care. No further competition processes will be run under this Framework. Placements for newly identified service users in need of care home services will generally be commissioned through an alternative project, the "Dynamic Provider List - Residential Care for Younger Adults", reference DN80051. That dynamic purchasing system (DPS) is active and open to new applications from organisations seeking opportunities to deliver care home placements. PLEASE NOTE: ORGANISATIONS WHICH BID SUCCESSFULLY FOR INCLUSION ON THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT (under project reference DN316366) SHOULD NOT RE-APPLY
