The aim of the framework is to: • Develop the local market and invite new businesses into the city • Improve quality of provision via improved monitoring and quality assurance processes • Reduce utilising spot purchasing arrangements by introducing set framework rates and requesting a breakdown of costs as part of the tender questions The Local Supported Accommodation Framework will operate for a four-year period. This will be a flexible framework whereby new providers will have the opportunity to join the framework after 2 years. This will not only allow new providers to access the framework, but will also support the stability of the market and ensure that prices remain competitive and viable. This contract falls under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 Light Touch Regime (LTR) - Regulations 74 to 77. As such, the City Council will place an advert in Find a Tender Service (FTS), publish an award notice and comply with the principles of transparency and equal treatment.
