Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process described involves West Lothian Council re-opening their flexible framework for early learning and childcare services, referenced as contract CC13109. This framework, which falls under the industry category of pre-school education services (CPV 80110000), aims to supplement the council’s in-house provision. Located in Livingston (region UKM78), the procurement stage is currently active, with the tender period ending on 30 August 2024. This re-opening follows the Scottish Government's 'Follows the Child' approach, requiring service providers to meet National Standards gradings of good or above. The contract duration is set for 33 months, with possible extensions of 12 months at the council’s discretion. The total estimated value is £22,334,488 GBP, and the procurement method is an open procedure under the GPA guidelines.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for childcare service providers, particularly SMEs, given the framework’s flexibility and the council’s intention to periodically re-open it for new entrants. Businesses with strong compliance to National Care Standards and robust financial stability, evidenced through Dun & Bradstreet checks, are well-suited to compete. The framework emphasises both quality and price equally, each contributing 50% to the award criteria. The re-opening will foster a competitive landscape, encouraging local providers to innovate and expand their services, thereby enhancing their market position and contributing to the broader community’s well-being.
