        "description": "Renfrewshire Council (the Council) is seeking to establish a multi-Provider Flexible Framework Agreement (Flexible Framework) for the Provision of Supported Living and Community Based Support Services for Adults with Social Care Needs. The Services will be for Adults with support needs relating to Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, Autism, Physical Disabilities, complex needs or other care and support inclusive of personal care, housing support, non-personal care, emotional and practical support. There may be the occasional requirement for a Service to be arranged for a child. The Council will utilise the Flexible Framework for SDS Option 2 & Option 3. It is anticipated that the Flexible Framework will be for 4 years with the option to extend for up to 12 months on 3 occasions, subject to satisfactory operation and performance. It is anticipated that the Flexible Framework will start on the 1st November 2024 and will expire on the 31st October 2028. Should all extension options be taken, the end date will be the 31st October 2031. In the event that the Flexible Framework does not start on 1st November 2024, the Flexible Framework will start on the Commencement Date as stated in the Letter of Acceptance. The length of any Individual Service Contract (ISC) made under this Flexible Framework will be stated in the relevant ISC. Please note an ISC may expire after the Flexible Framework End Date. Tenderers should note there is no guaranteed level of spend for any ISC awarded under the Flexible Framework; there is also no guarantee of payment being made to a Provider solely by appointment to the Flexible Framework. A flexible approach has been designed which will allow New Entrants to apply to be on the Flexible Framework.",
