The Framework Agreement operates as a spot purchase arrangement, offering call-off contract opportunities without guaranteeing any level or value of business to appointed providers.

Providers are required to use electronic call monitoring systems to account for actual service delivery and to provide specified performance indicators.

Payments are made at the fixed Council's Contracted Rate for Care based on actual delivery as evidenced by the electronic call monitoring systems.

The Council reserves the right to re-open competition during the Framework duration to secure additional capacity, with existing appointed providers remaining on the Framework without re-application.

The estimated value of the Framework Agreement is £50 million, based on £10 million per annum for commissioned care hours, subject to change based on demand.
