UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council is seeking child daycare services. The requirement is classified as a service and relates to a single contract covering the council’s stated childcare need. The buying organisation is Gloucestershire County Council, based at Shire Hall, Westgate Street, Gloucester. The procurement record does not identify a separate delivery address or location for the services. This is a small, focused requirement rather than a multi-service programme, and businesses operating in child daycare or closely related childcare provision are the relevant audience. The opportunity may also suit organisations with a public-benefit or community focus, as voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable alongside small and medium-sized businesses.

The process reached the tender stage: the council invited offers through an open competition below the applicable threshold. Enquiries had to be submitted by 16 July 2026 at 10:45 UTC, and offers by 16 July 2026 at 11:42 UTC. Electronic submission was allowed through the council’s online tendering link. The contract is for one lot, with a gross value of £10,000 including applicable taxes. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 31 July 2026. The procurement is treated under a concession special regime. The published award-criteria description is “Test345Test345”; no further evaluation weighting or scoring basis is stated in the procurement details.

This opportunity is aimed at suppliers able to provide child daycare services during the short contract period. It is expressly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a large corporate infrastructure is not indicated as a prerequisite. It is also identified as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it potentially relevant to charities, community organisations and other social-purpose providers as well as commercial childcare businesses. The core commercial fit is the ability to deliver an organised daycare service and meet the council’s service expectations. Suppliers should review the bidding documents for the detailed operating, safeguarding, staffing, premises and compliance requirements that govern delivery, then assess whether they can mobilise and perform the service within the specified period.
