## Description
The Council has established a flexible framework under the light touch regime for providers who can deliver one, or more, of the types of care and support packages required.

behavioural needs of children who have a diagnosis of ASD, ADHD, GDD and other disabilities is essential. Providers may also be required to be registered with the Care Quality Commission where they deliver regulated services under one of the lots.
The flexible framework is now reopened for competition. The previous FTS notice reference
