Orwell Housing Association Limited intend to create an open framework for agency suppliers who are able to provide temporary care assistants and support workers for our care and support schemes. We would like to procure a group of specialist agency suppliers who can offer a quality service whilst ensuring value for money for our customers. Suppliers will need to pass certain criteria to be successful in being awarded a place on the framework.
The open framework will run for a maximum period of 8 years and will be reopened in accordance with TPA2023. Full details will be provided in the Invitation to tender when issued.
We estimate the value to be £1.7m to £2m per annum, a total estimated cost of £16m including vat. Suppliers please note: the estimated values cover the whole of the framework and not the value awarded to each individual supplier.
All dates detailed are subject to change by Orwell Housing Association Ltd.
