Locality Home Care and Support Framework - change to reopening process
Authority: Suffolk County Council (Local council)
In response to prevailing market conditions the County Council has taken the decision not to reopen the Locality Home Care and Support Framework for 2023/24. This decision is in response to a significant reduction in the number of people waiting to receive care and support. In addition, the County Council recognises the need to maintain a responsive, robust and stable marketplace by supporting existing Locality Home Care Providers. The County Council may reopen the Framework as and when required, and this may be at County Lot or Locality Lot level depending on the nature of the market demands.
