Published requirement descriptionThis is the 4th application round for the Council's requirement to procure a Pseudo Open Framework for Professional Services in Children's Social Care under which it shall procure the following services under the following lots (which corresponds with the council’s main areas of spend);
- Lot 1 - Independent Specialist Assessments (included Drug and Alcohol Testing)
- Lot 2 - Therapeutic Support
- Lot 3 - Support to families (contact, welfare visits)
Within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) (PCR 2015), there is a Light Touch
Regime (LTR) for certain education, health and social care contracts. This is where we
have more flexibility to modify the procurement process to meet service needs.
In order to be clear where we are using a modified process, rather than the procedure
defined in PCR 2015 the use term “pseudo” is used.
Estimated value is the total value as stated in the initial set up the Pseudo Framework for the original full term.
