Description

This framework is for the provision of children's residential care across the West Midlands region.

Coventry City Council is the lead local authority for the new framework, which can be accessed by the 14 West Midlands Local Authorities/Trusts and their successors/any

successor bodies of any of the 14 entities.

The West Midlands Children's Residential Care Framework aims to be the primary means by which residential care placements are sourced in the region from the independent market.

This is a Flexible framework (and for the avoidance of doubt NOT an Open Framework as defined by the Procurement Act), which shall be re-opened annually and there will be additional re-openings, at any time if in the reasonable opinion of the Council the flexible framework needs to be re-opened to enable the Council and any Placing Authority to discharge their statutory duties in relation to Children in Care and the current number of providers and homes do not offer sufficient capacity in terms of residential placements
