Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council has implemented a multi-Provider Flexible Framework for Early Learning and Childcare Places commencing on 7th April 2026, with an initial duration of four years, potentially extending to 2033. This procurement process, conducted as an open procedure under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, aims to enhance early learning services within Renfrewshire. The Flexible Framework covers child daycare services under CPV code 85312110, with lots for Registered Child Day Care Providers and Registered Childminders. While the procurement stage is currently comprehensive, the initial tendering began with an active status in the award phase, and contracts total £125 million GBP. This initiative offers a dynamic environment for service provision, allowing new entrants to join throughout its duration.

This Flexible Framework presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the child daycare and education sectors. Companies such as nurseries, independent childcare providers, and qualified childminders, especially those based in Renfrewshire, are well-suited to participate. With no guaranteed level of spend, the framework relies on a commitment to quality service and flexibility, offering local providers the chance to increase their market presence and establish long-term partnerships with the Council. The inclusion of various community benefits further incentivises businesses to contribute to broader socio-economic goals while enhancing service offerings within the local community.

Notice Title

Flexible Framework for Early Learning and Childcare Places August 2025

Notice Description

Renfrewshire Council is seeking to establish a multi-Provider Flexible Framework Agreement (Flexible Framework) for Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) Places. The Council is seeking to procure the service of local Providers in respect of the future provision of early learning and childcare places within the Renfrewshire Council Area in addition to and to supplement the service provided at Council premises. This will allow the Council flexibility to offer Parents and Carers (including kinship carers) a choice of Provider for the funded ELC entitlement via a Council owned and managed nursery or from an independent or third sector Provider. The Flexible Framework is for a period of 4 years with the option to extend for up to 12 months on 3 separate occasions, subject to satisfactory operation and performance. The Flexible Framework commenced on the 7th April 2026 and will expire on the 6th April 2030. Should all extension options be taken, the End Date will be the 6th April 2033. Providers' successful in obtaining a place on the Flexible Framework may have an Appointed Date which differs from the Commencement Date. The length of any Commissioned Place made under this Flexible Framework will be stated in the relevant Commissioned Place. A Commissioned Place may expire after the Flexible Framework End Date. Tenderers should note there is no guaranteed level of spend for any Commissioned Place awarded under the Flexible Framework; there is also no guarantee of payment being made to a Provider solely by appointment to the Flexible Framework. A flexible approach has been designed which will allow New Entrants to apply to be on the Flexible Framework.
