Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

West Sussex County Council is reopening a framework agreement to find service providers who can deliver short breaks (respite care) for disabled children and young people. This is a call for multiple suppliers to join a pre-approved list; individual services will be commissioned separately as needed.

What the buyer wants

• Provide short-break services (respite care) for disabled children and young people • Meet safeguarding, training, and quality standards for working with vulnerable children • Work flexibly to accommodate the Council's booking and scheduling needs

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract requires substantial experience in child safeguarding and disability care, sole traders without formal care qualifications or a dedicated team are unlikely to meet the Council's standards.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
