    Brief

    Norfolk County Council is establishing a new framework agreement for alternative education provision outside of traditional schools and colleges, specifically focused on Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) and vocational services for children and young people. This framework creates a fair, transparent, and standardized commissioning process for qualified providers. As a provider, you will benefit from: a structured pathway to deliver services; consistent safeguarding standards across all providers; and expanded choice and support options for vulnerable children and young people. The framework applies to all suppliers under the light touch procurement regime, meaning KPI documentation is not required. Contract value is flexible and usage-based, scaling according to the specific needs of the young people accessing services. A blank framework template is provided as the baseline for all provider agreements.
