"description": "The Framework will be an Open Framework in accordance with section 49 of the Act. \nThe Authority is unable to give any guarantee as to the value of spend to be delivered through the Framework. However, the estimated aggregated total value of call-off contracts to be awarded over the maximum eight (8) year period of this Open Framework is \u00a37,400,000,000. \nSuppliers should note that this is the anticipated spend on the Services across the Care Home Development Framework (Ref: DN754240) and this Framework. The Authority will use both the Care Home Development Framework (Ref: DN754240) and this Framework to procure the Services and the spend on the Services under each framework will be determined by the market position as the framework progresses.\nAppointment to the Framework will be for an initial term of eighteen (18) months with the Authority having absolute discretion to extend the initial term by a further period up to the date immediately preceding the third (3rd) anniversary of the commencement of the Framework. Each Successive Framework will be for a period of eighteen (18) months with the Authority having absolute discretion to extend the Successive Framework term by a further period of eighteen (18) months provided always that the maximum term of the Open Framework will not exceed eight (8) years from the commencement of the original Framework.\nThe Authority will re-open the Framework within the first three (3) years to admit more Suppliers to the Framework. The Authority may, at its sole discretion, re-open the Framework at various intervals during the term where evidence provided from market engagement and/or call-off contracts demonstrates that it is likely that there will not be sufficient market capacity and ability to meet the demand for the build programme set out in the Supported and Specialist Housing Strategy and the associated Market Position Statement.\nThere will be no limit on the number of Suppliers that may be appointed to the Framework. The Authority may appoint new Suppliers to the Successive Framework by re-opening the Framework in accordance with section 49 of the Act. Suppliers should refer to the applicable procurement documents published in relation to any Successive Framework for further details of the re-appointment process.\nIn the event that only one (1) Supplier bids for the Framework, the Authority reserves the right to carry out a separate value for money assessment, and at its absolute discretion, to decide to cancel the Procurement.\nPlease refer to the tender documents for further details.",
