    Brief

    Norfolk County Council is establishing a framework agreement to support partnerships between funders, social investors, outcome payers, and local delivery partners. The framework will enable council departments to commission social investors for a range of social inclusion projects that align with government policy, council objectives, and the Norfolk Local Growth Plan. The council seeks partnerships that maximize positive impact for beneficiaries, delivery partners, and council commissioners. The estimated total value across all framework lots is £75 million, with individual contracts having a maximum duration of 10 years and no extension beyond April 2040. Following any local government reorganization or devolution changes, the framework may be transferred to successor authorities or strategic authorities covering Norfolk. Eligible suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate experience in social investment delivery and alignment with the council's strategic goals.
