## Notice

Home Care Service for Vulnerable Children and Young People Please note this contract opportunity is closed, and this is an award notice for the establishment of the Framework Agreement. The procurement establishes a suitable Framework Agreement for the provision of Home Care Services for Vulnerable Children and Young People aged between 10 and 17 years. The Services will include short breaks for disabled children, Section 17 provision (Children in Need) and transport assistance for looked after children. Accordingly, the procurement is divided into 3 Lots representing these three areas. The Framework Agreement is let for 3 (three) years, with the option to extend for a further 12 months (anticipated total 4 years). The estimated spend upon commencement of the Framework Agreement is: Lot 1 = cPS2.5m (aprx); Lot 2 = cPS0.8m to 1.0m (aprx); Lot 3 = cPS0.2m to PS0.5m (aprx). All value is exclusive of VAT and any inflationary uplift. The PS4m estimated total value of the Framework Agreement is stated in field II.1.7. However, the Contracting Authority notes that subject to future demand of the service and securing appropriate governance approvals, there may be a need to increase the value of services under Lot 1, should such demand materialise. In such an instance the Contracting Authority would seek to extend the total value of the Framework Agreement up to PS6m through a formal variation process subject to governance approval. The services advertised in this Notice fall under the services listed in Chapter 3 and Schedule 3 (Social and other specific services) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement process that applied to this procurement were specified in the original procurement documents accordingly.
