The aim is to meet the care and support needs of children and young people (Service Users) and to provide the Council with a compliant, legal and accredited framework.\nThis framework is for all new packages of support. It is the Councils intention that all existing support for outreach / respite for children and young people at the time of awarding the framework will remain with the existing Service Providers, to ensure there is continuity of care for children and young people and their carers.\nHowever, the Council shall reserve the right to undertake a review of any support currently being provided. If the Council feels that the hourly rate is not economically sustainable for the Council, such support packages shall be re-brokered in line with the brokerage process.\nFor Service Providers to retain the current packages of support provided they must apply to join this framework and be successful meeting the requirements of the award criteria.\nService Providers should note that being placed onto the framework is not a guarantee of being awarded any support packages and there is also no guarantee of value of spend to be let via this framework.\nThe framework agreement shall be for an initial period of four (4) years from the 02 February 2026 - 31 January 2030, with the option to extend up to a further period of fourth-eight (48) months reviewed after twenty-four (24) months\nThe Council is not currently aware of any TUPE implications at the time of tender. However, Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (\u201cTUPE\u201d) and/or Directive 2004/18/EC may apply to this framework during the period of the arrangement.\nService Providers should note that a non-scored approach has been chosen for Social Value. However, service providers are requested to submit measures at the time of submission and the Council will work with successful service providers to delivery against the measures.\nThe spend is based on current spend over the full framework period including extensions\nFull details can be found in the ITT",
