    "description": "Nottinghamshire County Council (the Council) is seeking to establish an Open Framework of suitable Providers to deliver residential care for children with multiple presenting needs, which includes those children displaying sexualised behaviours, on a planned and emergency basis.\r\n\r\nIdeally the support offered within this Framework will be delivered in Nottinghamshire for both emergency and planned packages of care. This will enable children to be supported by the Health and Education offer. In some cases, there may be a reason for the child to be supported outside of the county. For Providers delivering care outside of Nottinghamshire we will consider homes that are within a 30-mile radius of the county border. Providers of services for children displaying harmful sexual behaviours are exempt from this.\r\n\r\nA multi-provider framework agreement will be put in place which means that during the framework term the Council may re-open the Residential Care for children with multiple presenting needs (Phase 2b) tender exercise to run further competitive processes to allow new providers to be appointed to the Framework.\r\n\r\nThe initial framework agreement will be in place for 2 years, from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2028.\r\nFurther framework agreements may then be in place for a maximum of 8 years in total (2+2+2), until 31st August 2034.\r\n\r\nBidders should ensure they have fully reviewed all supporting tender documents before submitting their application.\r\n\r\nPlease note that this framework is not for the provision of supported accommodation.",
