Description
The Adoption Support Services Open Framework will be an open framework with rolling entry-points for Adoption Support Services including Therapeutic Support. This includes services that are both in scope and out of scope of the Adoption Support Fund (ASF). It involves a two-stage process; the first stage is concerned with setting up the Open Framework. Under this stage Bidders are invited to apply for inclusion on the Open Framework and those who meet the selection criteria detailed in this Invitation to Tender (ITT) and who are not excluded will be shortlisted. Bidders can apply to join the Open Framework at any point during its lifetime.
Following promotion to the Open Framework the Authority will invite admitted participants (hereafter referred to as Suppliers) within the relevant Lots and Zones on the Open Framework to bid for specific Adoption Support Services Contracts. This is stage two of the process which is more commonly referred to as a mini-competition or a call-off. This Open Framework shall be for the provision of Adoption Support Services and shall run for a period of four years (9th July 2018 - 8th July 2022). Bidders (new and previously unsuccessful) are able to apply to join the Framework anytime between 9th July 2018 - 8th July 2022
