## Notice

YPO are looking for Providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the provision of services for the permanent recruitment of children's social workers within London. The Framework is designed to meet the needs of all Local Authorities within London only, by establishing an agreement where the end customer will place the order with the Provider and the Provider delivers direct to the end customer.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a new Framework being developed by Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) in partnership with London Councils (London Councils) and London Innovation & Improvement Alliance (LIIA) on behalf of the Association of Directors of Children's Services (ALDCS). The Framework is being developed for the London region specifically to support the recruitment of permanent children's social workers, and corresponding management and leadership roles, within the London Boroughs

Options: The Framework Agreement will cover the period from 14 August 2023 to 13th August 2025 with two options to extend for an additional 12 months. The first decision to extend the Framework period will be taken by the end of April 2025 and will be dependent on the satisfactory completion of all aspects of the contract to date, the current market conditions for this category and YPO's contracting structures. The maximum Framework period will therefore be 4 years, from 14 August 2023 to 13 August 2027 (subject to an annual review, incorporating KPI performance.)

Renewal: There is a possibility that this Framework will be subject to renewal after 3.5 years from the commencement date
