Decision details

Approval is sought to extend and refresh 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 the Framework Agreement for a period of 12-months.

The Framework Agreement also includes the option to extend for a further 2 periods of 12 months on the same terms and conditions as the existing agreement.

Approval is therefore being sought to refresh and extend the agreement for a twelve month period from 01/04/2019 to 31/03/2020.

This Framework Agreement enables Local Authorities to make placements as required but there is no commitment to any expenditure.

The Director of Children and Families agreed to vary and extend the regional Framework Agreement White Rose Independent Education or Education and Care Placements for Children with Special Education Needs and Disability; and

to award the framework agreement for the supply of the provision and education to young people with special educational needs and disabilities to new providers, following the refresh process.
