Call-off Contracts with Providers under this Framework Agreement may be formed by the Customers for new placements as well as existing placements in care homes in Nottinghamshire with the aim of bringing all care home arrangements under the Framework Agreement terms and conditions.
Call-off Contracts for ‘Out of County’ placements to care homes operated by Providers who are a party to the Framework Agreement may also be made under the terms of the Framework Agreement. Please note that if an Out of County placement is made to a Provider that isn’t a party to the Framework Agreement that Provider must bid to join this Framework Agreement at the earliest opportunity.
