The intention is that the Framework Providers will deliver up to 30% of the PCN Home Support hours under a Principal Framework Provider (who was appointed through a separate procurement). The Principal Provider retains 70% of the PCN home support hours. This procurement is split into 2 lots, which covers PCNs in West Norfolk: \nThe lots are: \n1. King's Lynn (one provider needed)\n2. Fens and Brecks (two providers needed)\nBidders may apply for both Lots. \nPlease note that on 19 November 2025, the Minister of State for Local Government and Homelessness made a written statement [UIN HCWS1071] saying that three proposals for unitary local government in Norfolk had been received - these could entail the creation of one, two or three unitary councils. \nThe Minister announced a consultation exercise, which ended on 11 January 2026. The Minister stated that  \"that \"once the consultations have concluded, the Government will assess the proposals against the criteria in the invitation and decide, subject to parliamentary approval, which, if any, proposals are to be implemented, with or without modification\". \nOn 4 December 2025, the Secretary of State for Local Government made a written statement [UIN HCWS1128]  stating that the government intends to establish a Mayoral Strategic Authority for Norfolk and Suffolk as soon as possible, and that it is minded to hold inaugural mayoral elections in May 2028. \nShould these processes lead to unitary local government in Norfolk and/or to the establishment of a Mayoral Strategic Authority covering Norfolk (i) the contract may be transferred, assigned or novated to any successor authority(ies) to the council, or to any joint body incorporating or formed by any such successor and/or to any Mayoral Strategic Authority; and/or (ii) the council or a successor authority or joint body may order services on behalf of other local authorities serving any area within Norfolk's current geographical boundaries.",
