## Summary

The Norfolk County Council is seeking suppliers for a multi-provider framework agreement for Assessment, Therapy and Family Support Services. This procurement is classified under health and social work services and is being conducted through an open procedure. The tender period concluded on 20 February 2017, and the contract period started on 3 April 2017, lasting until 2 April 2021, with potential extensions that could allow contracts to run until 1 March 2037. The procurement process is located in the East of England, and the framework is designed to remain open for new applicants throughout its 48-month term, with an option for a further extension of 48 months.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social services. Given the framework's multi-lotted structure, businesses that are adaptable and capable of providing varied Assessment, Therapy, and Family Support services would be well-positioned to compete. Participating in this framework could enhance the visibility and reach of these businesses within the local community, positioning them for future growth and collaboration with Norfolk Council.

## Notice

Norfolk Council Children's Services wish to establish a Framework for the provision of Assessment, Therapy and Family Support services. Key Services/Provision areas in scope are detailed in the service specification, but we would expect Providers to be adaptable and flexible to develop Services/Provisions as required. The framework is multi-lotted and is open to multiple suppliers under each lot and is being let under the Light Touch Regime. The Framework Agreement differs from those let under the non-light touch regime in that the Council, exercising its flexibility, will keep the Framework open for new applicants throughout its term and reserves the right to extend the framework from its 48 month initial term for an additional 48 months, in two period of 24 months. Contracts awarded under the framework may have a maximum total duration of 10 years. No contract awarded from the framework will be permitted to extend beyond 1.3.2037.
