This request seeks approval to invoke contracts procedure rule 10.1 to enable the commissioning of a regional framework agreement with providers delivering fostering and supported lodgings care services for children and young people and care leavers.
The Framework Agreement will be led by Leeds City Council but will involve 14 Local Authorities across the Yorkshire and Humber and their ability to identify placements within the constraints of an agreed contract specification and terms and conditions against which to deliver quality provision.
It is expected that this framework agreement will be for the period of three years with the option to extend for a period of 12-months and will commence on 01/04/2018.
