This Light Touch Regime framework agreement is being let under Regulation 74 to 77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (Light Touch Regime, LTR) under which the Council has flexibility as to the process or procedure to be used when purchasing certain services of which home support services is one. In this instance, the Council is establishing a framework agreement with multiple suppliers that will set out the terms and conditions for making specific purchases (call-offs). The framework agreement differs from those let under the non-light touch regime in that it will run for 10 years and the Council, exercising its flexibility, may periodically open the framework for new applicants, particularly if it needs to increase capacity. If the Council decides to open up the Light Touch
Regime framework to new applicants, it will do so on the same terms and conditions and on the same criteria as stated in the invitation to tender, unless the Council deems that amendments as a result of changes in the market or changes within the Council.
