## Description
The procurement is an above threshold procedure for services which are considered Light Touch Regime (LTR) in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023- Sections 9 & 10 and all other provisions of LTR under the Act and Council's Contract Procedure Rules.
This arrangement constitutes a flexible "pseudo" framework (for clarity, not an Open Framework as defined under the Procurement Act 2023). The framework may be reopened 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.
The Framework is composed of two Lots.
Lot 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.
Lot 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.
