two.1.4) Short description
This Notice relates to Providers who have been awarded onto the Staffordshire Children and Young People's Flexible Framework (ref IA3213) following the re-opening of the Framework in October 2024.
In February 2024 Staffordshire County Council procured the Staffordshire Children and Young People's Flexible Framework (ref IA3213). The purpose of the Framework is to deliver support to Children and Young People in their Education Settings and in
their communities, throughout the eight districts of Staffordshire.
The Framework includes three Lots;
Lot 1. Targeted Intervention Programmes
Lot 2. Skill Development
Lot 3. Specialist Support
The Framework provision will predominantly support Children and Young People who need agreed specific support to engage positively with education, either individually or in groups. However, some provision will be targeted to support the
Education Settings, Parents/ Carers and Families in their support of Children and Young People.
The Framework will host a range of quality assured Services which will be available for the Council to Call-off as and when required (there is no guarantee as to the business on offer). A high volume of the support required will be for Children and Young People who are known to their SEND & Inclusion Hubs. This support will be
pre-determined by the Referrer/Funder of the Service at the Call-off stage.
As stated in the original Framework tender documents the Framework may be re-opened from time to time to increase capacity. As the procurement was for a 'Flexible Framework Agreement' commissioned under the Light Touch Regime (implemented through Regulations 74-77 ofthe Public Contract Regulations 2015). The Framework was therefore re-opened in October 2024 to allow prospective Providers to join the Framework. The Council was particularly looking to increase
capacity in South Staffordshire and East Staffordshire (specifically Uttoxeter) for all Lots, and in Lot 1 for Providers of creative therapies.
