Note: In order to be considered for lot 3 the bidder must also submit a compliant bid for lot 1 and/or lot 2. A bid solely for lot 3 will be deemed non-compliant.

The Framework Agreement will have an initial term of four years and options to extend for up to a further 24 months.

• a commercial office location within the Nottinghamshire boundary, or within a fifteen-mile radius of the Nottinghamshire boundary.

In addition to the above, Providers bidding for services under lots 1, 2 and 3 of this Framework Agreement must have:
• a current registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for the delivery of the regulated activity of personal care.

Registration with CQC is not a requirement for Providers solely bidding for lot 4.

Providers should note that a further opportunity / opportunities to bid for any, or all lots of this Framework Agreement may be advertised in the future. No date/s have been set for any such process. Any bidder who is unsuccessful in this tender may bid again in any future tender for admission to the Framework Agreement.
