The open framework is a bespoke procurement vehicle procured under the light touch regime - Part 2, Chapter 3 Section 7 of the public contracts Regulations 2015.

Applications for enrollment can be submitted up until the initial contract deadline of 17:00 on 8.4.2022. This deadline will be extended in line with any extensions granted. Applications will be evaluated as and when they are received and confirmation of enrollment (or otherwise) is anticipated to be confirmed within 10 working days. Applicants that fail can re-apply up until the deadline date.

The contract term allows for extensions up to a maximum period of 8 years giving a potential maximum contract term of 12 years.
