North Lanarkshire Council (the "Council") are undertaking this procurement with purpose of establishing a Framework with multiple Service Providers who can offer a multi-day outdoor education experience, with residential stay, for groups of school pupils. The Council have 155 Educational establishments who could potentially use this Framework.
.
The Council propose to utilise the Framework for many years or until there is fundamental change to the requirements (that will require re-tendering). It is proposed to include Framework entry points i.e. annually, which could allow new Providers to apply to join the Framework; this would enable the Council to maintain capacity and choice.
