This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) relating only to a consultation exercise of Care and Support Services. This is not a procurement process at this stage.

Scotland Excel wish to undertake some early development work for a renewal Care and Support Flexible Framework. For the first iteration, we worked closely with a range of partners to develop this Flexible Framework in recognition that opportunities exist to collaboratively develop a best practice approach to purchasing Care and Support that focuses on choice and control, quality and embeds Fair Work Practices within sustainable service provision.

We do need to hear the views from all our stakeholders. We want to actively encourage Providers of all sizes to participate in opportunities that this Care and Support Services Flexible Framework will offer. This is the first stage of a broader consultation process.

To this end, we are holding events with providers who deliver Care and Support and Housing Support to Adults. The event findings will be used to inform strategic developments and operational practice via a thematic approach going forward with wider stakeholders in meeting ethical commissioning principles.
