Information on framework agreement: Framework agreement with several operators
maximum number of participants to the framework agreement envisaged: 8
Duration of the framework agreement
Duration in years: 6
Justification for a framework agreement, the duration of which exceeds four years: Due to the nature of the work involved in the services specified, any call off contracts under the framework would likely be of a substantial duration and would require substantial investment by the provider in order to deliver, with return on investment being beyond the contract duration. It is important that the Framework duration is proportionate to this investment effort, delivery time-scale and recognises the period of investment.
The Council recognises that the investment from the provider and time-scales will be substantial. This may translate into longer further competition processes as well as actual delivery time-scales. The Council wishes to offer a framework duration which addresses these factors and provide framework providers with sufficient time to undertake appropriate preparatory work prior to being awarded specific projects.
The nature of the work also requires the development of strategic partnerships with the providers on the Framework to ensure the delivery of suitable and sustainable solutions and services. The Council wishes to minimise disruption to people in receipt of care services as a result of opportunities delivered through the framework. To achieve this, the service requires a long lead in and appropriate consultation and planning undertaken with service users, families and the community as a whole.
Taking these factors into account, it is the Council’s view that overall active engagement with suitable providers and regular further competitions for individual contracts will enhance, as opposed to distort, competition.
On this basis, the Framework will have a duration of 6 years with a potential 4 year extension.
Estimated total value of purchases for the entire duration of the framework agreement
Estimated value excluding VAT:
Range: between 0 and 850 000 000 GBP
Frequency and value of the contracts to be awarded: The Council is unable to give any guarantee as to the number and value of developments to be delivered through the Framework. The Council anticipates that it will utilise the Framework to deliver a minimum of 9 and up to a maximum of 30 extra care schemes with an estimated value between GBP 194 000 000 and GBP 647 000 000. The Council has allocated up to GBP 9 000 000 which it will make available under the Framework where required, to support development of extra care housing schemes. The Council will also encourage and support bids to the Homes and Communities Agency for grant funding to support proposed developments and may consider applying for Homes and Communities Agency Grant funding to support developments in its own right.

Short description of the contract or purchase(s): The Council is seeking to establish a framework of suitably qualified and experienced organisations, or consortia of organisations (the Providers), who it can work with to extend the development of extra care housing schemes across the County.
The framework will allow the Council to commission extra care housing developments and associated services through a single end to end process in which the Providers will provide the capacity and ability to design, build, finance, operate and maintain schemes that are developed.
The extra care housing will provide safe and secure housing for people aged 55 or older with a care and/or support need or 18 to 55 with a learning and/or physical disability who require varying levels of care and support to enable them to live independently in a home environment.
