The Cabinet has considered a proposal to set up a Greater Manchester Mental Health and Dementia Complex Needs flexible purchasing system and has given approval to the recommendations for awarding the providers (as detailed in the report) on to the Flexible Purchasing System for Greater Manchester Mental Health and Dementia Complex Needs for the initial round 1, round 2 and other subsequent rounds of tendering and awarding providers onto the Flexible Purchasing System noting that the framework will be for a term of up to 4+2 years and accreditation awarded to providers carries no guarantee of business during that time.
