Common use of Contract Suspension Clause in Contracts

Contract Suspension. 29.1 In accordance with Statutory Guidance the Service Purchaser(s) may apply an suspension on placements with a Home, i.e. choose not to place new Service Users there for a specified reason, but only if the suspension is applied in accordance with the Service Purchaser(s) policy on embargos and the policy is applied consistently. The use and removal of suspensions must be linked to thorough risk assessments undertaken by the Service Purchaser(s). Risk assessments must be undertaken within a reasonable time and shared with the Service Provider. 29.2 If the Service Purchaser(s) apply the suspension because new Service Users may not be safe in a Home, the Service Purchaser(s) will make arrangements for all existing Service Users in the Home to be reviewed individually.
