Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Nursery Services" contract was conducted by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons, located at Parliament Square, London. This contract, classified under "Pre-school education services," is aimed at providing full-time childcare for children aged from 3 months to 5 years at the Palace of Westminster. The contract was awarded through an open procedure, with an initial tender stage conducted in May 2022. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract being awarded as of June 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £2,500,000 and is intended to operate from Mondays to Fridays and additional hours on days the House sits late, covering 51 weeks of the year.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for well-established childcare providers capable of delivering comprehensive early years education services. The contract demands a high degree of quality, with 60% of the award criteria focused on quality and 40% on cost. London Early Years Foundation (Nursery) successfully secured the contract, suggesting that businesses with proven expertise in the education sector, particularly those able to manage extensive childcare provisions, would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. This offers room for expanding market presence in the public sector and aligning services with national procurement goals.
