Description

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is seeking to commission a "Pseudo" Open Framework Agreement consisting of multiple suitably qualified providers under which it can Call-off (via mini-competition) a range of youth related service for young people aged 11 - 19 (up to 25 for young people with special educational needs or disabilities, SEND) in the borough.

The "Pseudo" Open Framework Agreement will be commissioned under the Light Touch Regime (implemented through regulations 74-77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015). This Framework Agreement differs from those let under the non-light touch regime in that the Council may exercise its flexibility to periodically 'open' the framework for providers to submit applications to join, particularly if it needs to increase capacity or to respond to emerging needs. If the Council decides to open up the "Pseudo" Open Framework Agreement for applications, it will do so on the same terms and conditions and on the same criteria.
