The proposed Framework will include two Lots: Lot 1 - Care Support and Community Outreach This Lot covers personalised care and support delivered in the home or community.

Providers must be able to offer planned, responsive and crisis support across a range of hours. Lot 2 - Specialist Playschemes and Targeted Short Breaks This Lot provides specialist holiday playschemes and targeted short break opportunities for children with substantial or complex needs.

The Council is considering an initial period of nine years for the initial term of the Contract, with the ability to extend by a further eight years, and with the ability for the Council to exercise a limited 12-month extension at the end of the initial or extended contract period to allow for unforeseen circumstances.
