Descriptions

North Lanarkshire Council (the ‘Council’) propose to establish a flexible framework with external providers (‘Contractors’) to support the critical service delivery to children, young people and adults who have been assessed as requiring support to design, develop and achieve real lives in line with the Social Care (Self Directed Support) (Scotland) Act 2013.The approach to establish this Framework is in accordance with Regulation 74 (Social and Other Specific Services). The Council propose a maximum Framework duration of ten (10) years.A flexible approach to the operation of this framework will apply. The Council will have annual published entry points for additional Contractors to apply to join the framework on the same terms as current contractors.It is anticipated that full retendering will only be necessary when there is a change to the requirements.
