Published requirement description

This is the 3rd application round for the Council's requirement to procure a Pseudo Open Framework for Professional Services in Children's Social Care under which it shall procure the following services under the following lots (which corresponds with the council’s main areas of spend);

  • Lot 1 - Independent Specialist Assessments (including Drug and Alcohol Testing)
  • Lot 2 - Therapeutic Support
  • Lot 3 - Support to families (contact, welfare visits)

Within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) (PCR 2015), there is a Light Touch

Regime (LTR) for certain education, health and social care contracts. This is where we

have more flexibility to modify the procurement process to meet service needs.

In order to be clear where we are using a modified process, rather than the procedure

defined in PCR 2015 the use term “pseudo” is used.
