Description
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has commissioned a "Pseudo" Open Framework Agreement (known as the RBKC Youth Services Framework) under which it can Call-off (via mini-competition) a range of youth related services for young people aged 11 - 19 (up to 25 for young people with special educational needs or disabilities, SEND) in the borough.
It has been established to respond flexibly to young people's priorities and needs, and will deliver a range of programmes and projects that aim to improve young people's outcomes. This "Pseudo" Open Framework commenced on the 1st September 2019, for a period of 4 years, and currently consists of 17 suitably qualified organisations.
The "Pseudo" Open Framework Agreement has been 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 organisations to submit applications to join, particularly if it needs to increase capacity or to respond to emerging needs.
The Council is now exercising its flexibility to 'open' the Framework for organisations to submit applications to join the Framework for the remainder of its term (until 31st August 2023). It is anticipated that organisations who are successful in being awarded a place on the Framework Agreement will join the Framework from the 1st December 2019.
The "Pseudo" Open Framework Agreement is being 'opened' on the same terms and criteria as when the Framework was initially established.
