Open frameworks have a maximum duration of eight years. Within the eight-year term, the framework must be reopened at least twice. The Council will open the Framework after the initial three years from the day of the first award. The Council’s intention is that Framework two will then reopen after three years, Framework three will then have a duration of two years. Providers will meet the shared objectives of delivering support which meets the needs and outcomes of the individuals, as well as improving choice, quality and promoting independence. The Council is looking to shift towards outcomes-based commissioning. In its broadest terms, this means that the focus will be moved from ‘how’ a service operates, to the outcomes the service achieves. This means that the individual and/or their advocates will be involved in measuring the success of a given service in relation to achieving outcomes, and their role will be more central to the evaluation and management of contracts.
