Published description of the framework
The Framework will be an Open Framework in accordance with section 49 of the Act.
The Authority is unable to give any guarantee as to the value of spend to be delivered through the Framework. However, the estimated aggregated total value of call-off contracts to be awarded over the maximum eight (8) year period of this Open Framework is £220,000,000. The estimated total value is calculated based on potential grant payments and void payments across the term of the call-off contracts awarded under the Framework.
Appointment to the Framework will be for an initial term of eighteen (18) months with the Authority having absolute discretion to extend the initial term by a further period up to the date immediately preceding the third (3rd) anniversary of the commencement of the Framework. Each Successive Framework will be for a period of eighteen (18) months with the Authority having absolute discretion to extend the Successive Framework term by a further period of eighteen (18) months provided always that the maximum term of the Open Framework will not exceed eight (8) years from the commencement of the original Framework.
The Authority will re-open the Framework within the first three (3) years to admit more Suppliers to the Framework. There will be no limit on the number of Suppliers that may be appointed to the Framework. The Authority may appoint new Suppliers to the Successive Framework by re-opening the Framework in accordance with section 49 of the Act. Suppliers should refer to the applicable procurement documents published in relation to any Successive Framework for further details of the re-appointment process.
In the event that only one (1) Supplier bids for the Framework, the Authority reserves the right to carry out a separate value for money assessment, and at its absolute discretion, to decide to cancel the Procurement.

- Price carries 35 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Extra Care Development Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
