How will the LSC/relevant funding body use the Framework to inform procurement decisions?
From spring 2009, the LSC’s financial and wider intervention policy will have regard to the publicly available elements of the Framework. From spring 2010, interventions such as Notices to Improve and other actions, such as contract withdrawal and removal of funding set out in Identifying and Managing Underperformance (LSC, January 2008), will be triggered by Framework for Excellence scores of ‘Inadequate’.
