The Service requirements may evolve and expand as Regulations and Standards change and new initiatives emerge.NOE CPC is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement with several economic entities using the Open Procedure with an envisaged minimum of 3 and maximum of 6 service providers by the regional lots of the Framework Agreement.The Framework Agreement will use the NHS Framework Agreement for the provision of Services.Other NHS Contracting Authorities participating in the Framework Agreement are likely to be seeking a range of service delivery methods and pricing mechanisms dependent on their own particular needs, maturity and risk exposure. Therefore flexibility of purchasing options and charging mechanisms is a key element of this Framework Agreement.
