NCL ICB Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Provider Framework
NCL ICB is establishing a PBS provider framework for the commissioning of PBS packages of care for clients with a learning disability and behaviours of concern.
The aim of the procurement exercise is for NCL ICB to have a cohort of high-quality providers from which to commission PBS placements from. These placements are expected to improve client’s quality of life.
Only providers that meet the ICB’s PBS quality standards will be accepted onto the framework.
The contract will have a duration of 3 years + 1 year’s extension.
The maximum contract value will be £12 million per year.
There is no guarantee of spend to any provider on the framework. Framework providers will be awarded individual client contracts through either a mini competition or direct award process.
The Complex Care LD team will host the framework. Providers can only be added to the framework during the initial tender period as current procurement regulations do not allow for additional providers to be added at a later date.
The NHS NCL ICB Positive Behaviour Support Framework can also be used by NCL Local Authorities.
This is a one stage process under the Light touch regime
