The aim of this framework is to ensure that NCL has a cohort of providers able to deliver effective PBS, which improves outcomes and quality of life for people with a learning disability and behaviours of concern. Effective PBS can lead to improved outcomes, reduced incidents of crisis, decreased use of restraint, fewer breakdowns in community placements and less inappropriate hospital admissions. The framework will implement: • Minimum PBS quality standards and service activities to improve the quality of PBS in the sector • Standardised contract monitoring • A set range of payment rates for PBS packages The framework list will be the mechanism for the call-off of individual packages of care and the award of individual PBS Service User Placement Agreement (SUPA) contracts by NCL ICB. NCL Local Authorities also have the option to commission individual packages of care from this framework list if they choose. NCL Local Authorities will follow their own local procedures for the issuing of contracts related to individual packages of care. ## Lots (7) ### Lot 1: Emergency PBS placements (provision of accommodation and care 18 years +) - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** Emergency PBS placements (provision of accommodation and care 18 years +) ### Lot 2: Emergency PBS placements (provision of care only, 18 years +) - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** Emergency PBS placements (provision of care only, 18 years +) ### Lot 3: Planned Placements for young people (16+ years) and adults (18+ years) with a learning disability and behaviours of concern (provision of accommodation and care) - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** Planned Placements for young people (16+ years) and adults (18+ years) with a learning disability and behaviours of concern (provision of accommodation and care) ### Lot 4: Planned Placements for young people (16+ years) and adults (18+ years) with a learning disability and behaviours of concern (provision of care only) - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** Planned Placements for young people (16+ years) and adults (18+ years) with a learning disability and behaviours of concern (provision of care only) ### Lot 5: Emergency CYPS PBS placements (provision of care only, no accommodation 0-17 years) - **Lot id:** `5` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** Emergency CYPS PBS placements (provision of care only, no accommodation 0-17 years) ### Lot 6: - Planned Placements CYPS for children with a learning disability and behaviours of concern (provision of care only, no accommodation 0-17 Years) - **Lot id:** `6` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** - Planned Placements CYPS for children with a learning disability and behaviours of concern (provision of care only, no accommodation 0-17 Years) ### Lot 7: Functional Behaviour Assessments, Organisational training and consultation in the delivery of the PBS approach (all ages) - **Lot id:** `7` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Description:** Functional Behaviour Assessments, Organisational training and consultation in the delivery of the PBS approach (all ages) ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F025701-2023) - **Last Source Update:** 2023-09-01T08:43:09.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-11-04T00:07:44.364Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-03f8ad
