This procurement will be conducted under the light touch regime and incorporate the following four lots: Limited, Standard, Intensive and Parent and Child. Candidates are advised that this framework will incorporate a refresh mechanism to enable new entrants to apply to join the framework which is anticipated to be enacted at the 2 year anniversary or as required by ECC during its four year lifetime.
