This notice is to announce the launch of the Educational and Children's Social Care Professionals (ECSC) Framework Style Agreement. This framework will serve as a core procurement route for individual specialists, advisers and subject matter experts for the Department for Education. The new framework is intended to provide a more rapid and flexible route to market, as well as a less burdensome process for suppliers. The new ECSC framework is split into a series of Lots reflecting the specialisms and skillsets the Department is seeking to procure in.

To register to join the framework, suppliers complete both the mandatory requirements in the overarching ITT\_2994 and the Lot-specific requirements of the lot or lots they apply for in the relevant Lot-specific Invitations to Tender.
