East Riding of Yorkshire Council is seeking applications from potential care agencies to be admitted to the Council's new Supported Living Open Framework
It is intended that this Framework will be in place until 31 March 2033 with the option to extend for up to three further twenty-four month periods at the sole discretion of East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
Unlike a traditional framework, suppliers can apply to join the open framework at any time and is designed to provide access to a pool of pre-qualified suppliers that can be continually refreshed, however the applications will only be evaluated every 12 months or when the Council identifies an urgent need in particular to direct award to a specific provider.
There is no limit to the number of providers awarded a place on the open framework for supported living, however it must be recognised that there are no guaranteed levels of business.
The initial closing date is noon 9 December 2024. Further information is in the tender documents.
The next scheduled opening of this Supported Living Open Framework is April 2026
