The framework may be reopened at any time, either to increase the number of participating providers or to replace\nthose who have been removed. This action may be taken at the Council's reasonable discretion, where it is deemed necessary to ensure the framework continues to support the Council in meeting its statutory duties-specifically, to maintain sufficient capacity in terms of available placements and provider coverage.\nThe Framework is composed of two Lots.\nLot 1: Overnight Short Breaks Service for children and young people with SEND aged 2-18 years: The provision will provide overnight short break services that give children and young people to take a break and support for Parent/Carers in their caring role, which could reduce the occurrence of family breakdown.\nLot 2: Overnight Short Breaks Service for Adults 18+ with learning disabilities (LD) or disabilities: The provision will provide overnight short break services that enable adults to take a break and support for Family members or carers in their caring role, which could reduce the occurrence of family breakdown.",

This has been designed to ensure; continued competition, a basis of flexibility and also support the creation of sustainable business opportunities for new market entrants, into the City of Wolverhampton.\nWhere the authority is not in the position to award to three, it reserves the right to award a lower number i.e. one or two. The framework may also be re-opened at any time, either to increase the number of participating providers or to replace those who have been removed. This action may be taken at the Council's reasonable discretion, where it is deemed necessary to ensure the framework continues to support the Council in meeting its statutory duties-specifically, to maintain sufficient capacity in terms of available placements and provider coverage.\nProviders successful to the framework will not be ranked and all referrals will be scheduled via a mini competition process."
