- The Increasing Capacity Framework is designed to create a simple and efficient solution for those looking to procure a variety of clinical services from pre-approved providers. It allows a commissioner to put in place a contract with a Framework Provider by a direct award or by undertaking a mini competition. NHS England, Trusts and CCGs can use it to purchase additional elective acute services from a range of pre-approved providers at prices equivalent to or lower than those they usually pay.
- Framework duration 20th November 2020 to 19th November 2022.
