two.1.4) Short description
NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) is establishing a framework list of providers to deliver high-quality Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) services.
The aim of this framework is to ensure that NCL has a cohort of providers able to deliver effective PBS, which improves outcomes and quality of life for people with a learning disability and behaviours of concern. Effective PBS can lead to improved outcomes, reduced incidents of crisis, decreased use of restraint, fewer breakdowns in community placements and less inappropriate hospital admissions.
The framework will implement:
• Minimum PBS quality standards and service activities to improve the quality of PBS in the sector
• Standardised contract monitoring
• A set range of payment rates for PBS packages
The framework list will be the mechanism for the call-off of individual packages of care and the award of individual PBS Service User Placement Agreement (SUPA) contracts by NCL ICB.
NCL Local Authorities also have the option to commission individual packages of care from this framework list if they choose. NCL Local Authorities will follow their own local procedures for the issuing of contracts related to individual packages of care.

Section six. Complementary information
six.3) Additional information
NCL ICB is establishing a PBS provider framework for the commissioning of PBS packages of care for clients with a learning disability and behaviours of concern.
The aim of the procurement exercise is for NCL ICB to have a cohort of high-quality providers from which to commission PBS placements from. These placements are expected to improve client's quality of life.
Only providers that meet the ICB's PBS quality standards will be accepted onto the framework.
The contract will have a duration of 3 years + 1 year's extension.
The maximum contract value will be £12 million per year.
There is no guarantee of spend to any provider on the framework. Framework providers will be awarded individual client contracts through either a mini competition or direct award process.
The Complex Care LD team will host the framework. Providers can only be added to the framework during the initial tender period as current procurement regulations do not allow for additional providers to be added at a later date.
The invitation to tender (ITT) is planned to be published in late September - early October 2023. Framework contracts will be awarded to successful providers in early 2024.
The NHS NCL ICB Positive Behaviour Support Framework can also be used by NCL Local Authorities.
