Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council is currently engaged in the procurement process for a Direct Award of Contract pertaining to Childcare / Nursery Provision at Mama Bear's Day Nursery in Torquay, Devon. The initial contract expired on 6 December 2020, and due to disruptions caused by the Covid pandemic, the re-tender process was postponed. As a result, a six-month contract, extending until 4 June 2021, has been awarded directly to the incumbent provider, while planning for a new tender is set to commence in Summer 2021. The procurement method used is classified as an open procedure, with an estimated contract value of £95,000.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in education and training services, particularly those focused on childcare provisions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolio in the childcare sector are well-suited to compete, especially those who can demonstrate capacity to provide similar services effectively. With the anticipated shift to a new contract, prospective providers can leverage this extended period to prepare for the upcoming tendering process, positioning themselves strategically within the local market.

Notice Title

Direct Award of Contract for Zero to Five (0-5) Years Childcare / Nursery Provision

Notice Description

Torbay Council has a current contract in place, for Childcare / Nursery Provision at Mama Bear's Day Nursery, (on the site of) St Margaret's Academy, Barewell Road in Torquay, Devon. The contract expires on 06 December 2020. Initial Tender preparation and planning for a re-tender, took place in early 2020, but was halted with the onset of the Covid pandemic and subsequent lockdown restrictions. During the summer months of 2020, there was an increasing workload on Children's and Education Services within the Council, in dealing with the Covid crisis and the return to school for children in the local area. This has been on-going moving into the Autumn and the subsequent priorities have impacted on the Council's ability to undertake a re-tender process for the Childcare / Nursery Provision, in good time before the current contract expires. As a result, Torbay Council proposes to issue a directly awarded six month contract to the incumbent provider, subject to internal approval, to continue providing the current services at the Day Nursery. It is anticipated that the re-tender and award (of a new contract) processes can be conducted, during this time, to commence in the Summer of 2021.
