Summary of the contracting process

The Caerphilly County Borough Council is currently inviting tenders for the provision of childcare services at two locations: Trinant and Ty Coch. This procurement process, categorised under public services, focuses on the delivery of child daycare and early education services in the UK region UKL16. The tender is at the active stage, with submissions open via an open competition method. Interested parties should note the deadline for inquiries is 6th June 2025, and the final date for tender submissions is 11th June 2025. The contract is projected to start on 1st September 2025 and runs through to 31st August 2030. The Council is seeking qualified childcare providers who are registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales for the development of high-quality early years education and Flying Start provisions.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses in the childcare and early education sectors. It is particularly suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their service offerings or establish a presence in the Welsh childcare market. The council provides not only the facilities equipped with essential furnishings and resources but also the chance to register new satellite provisions, promoting both community engagement and business sustainability. Successful tenderers will be able to tap into the local demand for funded childcare places and potentially attract fee-paying parents, allowing for diverse revenue streams and long-term growth. A Licence to Occupy Agreement will ensure a secure contractual relationship with the Council.
