The Leader invited Councillor Mrs Bowyer, Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care, to present a report on a Framework Agreement for Plymouth Supported Living Services Contract awards.  

Following a short debate and questions Cabinet agreed -

1.    To award contracts under the Framework Agreement for a period of up to 12 years;

2.    That every 3 years the Framework will be opened up to give new suppliers the opportunity to join the Framework Agreement, existing Framework suppliers will be required to resubmit their prices for new referrals only; prices for existing call-offs will remain the same. 

Details of the successful suppliers are contained in the Part II report.  The tender evaluation process has determined that they have the critical knowledge and experience to provide these services and that considering all evaluation criteria they have offered the ‘most economically advantageous tender.
