2) If so, what is/are the current total contract value(s)
3) And annual contract value?
4) How long is the current contract?
5) What was its start date?
6) When does it end?
7) Has the contract been extended, or do you intend to extend?
8) If so, for how long?
9) Who is/are the current provider(s)?
10) Will you be including Children and Young People in the above contracts or tendering separate services?
11) What commissioning model do you currently use – Framework?/Block?
12) What commissioning model are you considering for future contracts, e.g., Framework/Block?
13) If these services are not currently outsourced, are there plans to do so? If so, when are they likely to be commissioned and will there be a consultation process?
