Approval is sought to vary the regional Framework Agreement for the supply of the provision and education to young people with special educational needs and disabilities and to award to new providers following the refresh process as detailed below.
This Framework Agreement was awarded on 01/04/2017 to 31/03/2019 with the option for a refresh on a 12 monthly basis for existing providers to re-submit their base costs attributable to their provision of service and to permit the introduction of new providers to a Framework Agreement for a period of 12-months from 01/04/2018 to 31/03/2019
The Framework Agreement includes the option to extend for a further 2 periods of 12 months on the same terms and conditions as the existing agreement.
This Framework Agreement enables Local Authorities to make placements as required but there is no commitment to any expenditure.
