The Local Authority has a statutory duty to provide accommodation for young people who are looked after, and/or leaving care or homeless. 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.
