Notice Title
Provision of a Flying Start Childcare Service Framework
Notice Description
The Authority, Bridgend County Borough Council, wishes to award this framework following a tender process to procure an open Framework to award childcare providers offering a childcare place to eligible children within Bridgend, funded through the Flying Start and Flying Start Expansion programmes that sit within the Children and Communities Grant. The Authority is procuring an open framework. The maximum term of the Framework scheme will be 5 years. Successful suppliers from this procurement process will be awarded a place on the first framework (Initial Framework) for a period of 2 years in line with Grant funding. On or before expiry of the Initial Framework, the Council will be entitled to re-open the framework and conduct a competitive process to award the second framework under this scheme (the "Second Framework"), admitting new suppliers and readmitting existing suppliers in accordance with the procurement documents. In line with the Procurement Act 2023, there is further flexibility to reopen the framework after the Second Framework, to reflect demand for Flying Start childcare provision at settings. The framework has been split into two separate Lots to provide parents with more options to take up their offer of Flying Start childcare. Lot 1 - Childminders Lot 2 - Childcare Providers. These two Lots are a fixed list of providers who can be awarded contracts over a set period. Contract term: Period of Two Years from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028 (with the option to extend up to a further 36 months up to 31st March 2031)

"title": "Provision of a Flying Start Childcare Service Framework",
"description": "The Authority, Bridgend County Borough Council, wishes to award this framework following a tender process to procure an open Framework to award childcare providers offering a childcare place to eligible children within Bridgend, funded through the Flying Start and Flying Start Expansion programmes that sit within the Children and Communities Grant. The Authority is procuring an open framework. The maximum term of the Framework scheme will be 5 years. Successful suppliers from this procurement process will be awarded a place on the first framework (Initial Framework) for a period of 2 years in line with Grant funding. On or before expiry of the Initial Framework, the Council will be entitled to re-open the framework and conduct a competitive process to award the second framework under this scheme (the \"Second Framework\"), admitting new suppliers and readmitting existing suppliers in accordance with the procurement documents. In line with the Procurement Act 2023, there is further flexibility to reopen the framework after the Second Framework, to reflect demand for Flying Start childcare provision at settings. The framework has been split into two separate Lots to provide parents with more options to take up their offer of Flying Start childcare. Lot 1 - Childminders Lot 2 - Childcare Providers. These two Lots are a fixed list of providers who can be awarded contracts over a set period. Contract term: Period of Two Years from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028 (with the option to extend up to a further 36 months up to 31st March 2031)",

"description": "The Authority is procuring an Open Framework in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. An Open Framework is a scheme of frameworks that provides for the award of successive frameworks on substantially the same terms (the Framework Scheme) . The maximum term of the Framework Scheme will be [5] years. Successful suppliers from this procurement process will be awarded a place on the first framework (Initial Framework) for a period of [2] years. Re-opening: The Authority intends to re-open the Open Framework after the initial [2] year period. On award of the Second Framework, the Initial Framework will expire automatically (although any Orders placed under the Initial Framework will continue). The Second Framework shall continue for a period of 12 months. After the Initial Term of the Second Framework, the Authority may extend the then-current framework by successive periods of up to 12 months each, and/or reopen the framework and award a further successive framework, provided that it shall re-open the Framework on at least one more occasion before expiry of the [5] year Framework Scheme. This process will involve a new competitive tendering procedure conducted at the appropriate time to ensure continuity and market testing. There is no limit to the number of Suppliers to be awarded a place on each Framework. * Appointment of suppliers to each framework under open framework: * For Existing suppliers, ie those having been appointed to the framework in existence immediately before the next framework in the scheme being awarded: * The Authority may award the framework to an existing supplier by reference to the fact that the supplier has already been awarded a framework under the scheme and will therefore not have to submit a new tender. However, if a supplier wished to make changes to its earlier tender, this would require a new tender to be submitted and assessed; or * The Authority may call for new tenders to be submitted and evaluated for the new Framework; or * The Authority may award a place on the framework by reference to a tender relating to an earlier award of a framework under the Framework Scheme. New Suppliers will have to submit a tender for any new Framework to be evaluated and awarded in accordance with instructions set out in the procurement documents at the time.",
