It is led and managed by Pluss CIC and delivered by Pluss and its Core Partners across 5 Contract Areas. There are specialist partners already signed up to this existing framework that opened in 2020. New specialist partners are now being invited to join this framework that expires on 29/09/23. Pluss reserves the right to extend this framework by a further year, or up to the date when the contract allocations per contract area are spent, whichever is the earlier. Pluss also reserves the right to bring the expiry date forward, should the allocations per contract area be spent before the expiry date. Pluss and its Core Partners wish to bring in new specialist partners to deliver services that will help participants to overcome personal barriers to progression. As these services will be specific to the participants needs, and sporadic in terms of the service requirements, to ensure a full coverage of services, Pluss is adding specialist partners to the existing Opportunities Framework as part of our extension on the Building Better Opportunities Contracts. Once Specialist Partners are approved onto the Opportunities Framework, Pluss and its Core Partners will be able to call off services on a participant needs basis. The services are set out (but not limited to) under requirements (3) of this tender. Specialist Partners can respond to one or more Contract Areas, but must complete a separate response for each Contract Area. Please note, Pluss and its Core partners are not looking for one Specialist Partner to deliver all services across any Contract Area, services within a Contract Area may be awarded to more than one Specialist Partner to suit the requirements of the programme. Once approved and placed on the Opportunities Framework, this in no way guarantees a commitment to volume or revenue as the framework is there to be accessed on a needs basis. In addition, your organisation will be added to the pre-approved Pluss suppliers list. The services under the Opportunities Framework will be very varied and for example, may range from a vocational training course to accessing help for substance misuse issues, due to this varied nature of services required under Building Better Opportunities, there is also the scope to add services under None-Listed Services.
