Kirklees Council wish to establish a Supported Living Services ("SLS") Provider Agreement to replace the current Framework Agreement which may also be used by the NHS Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group ("CCG") (subject to CCG governance approval). As the current Framework arrangement does not allow new Providers to be able to join, the new SLS arrangement will in the format of an Electronic Market Place ("EMP") which will allow new Providers to join.
