Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is planning a tender titled "Subsidised Childcare for Working Parents" aimed at engaging childcare providers in Edinburgh. This procurement falls under the services category and involves delivering subsidised childcare for working parents on low incomes, designed to support approximately 800 families per year in areas with high unemployment and poverty. Key dates include a Market Engagement event scheduled for 25 April 2018 at Waverley Court, Edinburgh, with a deadline for providers to confirm attendance by 20 April 2018. Interested parties must contact Susie Donkin to register their attendance.

This procurement process presents significant growth opportunities for childcare providers, particularly those focused on affordable services for low-income families. Businesses that specialise in childcare services, especially those dealing with subsidisation, community engagement, and family support, would be well-suited to compete. The engagement session aims to gather insights from various providers to shape the future requirements for subsidised childcare in the city, making it an essential occasion for potential bidders to share their ideas and capabilities.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The City of Edinburgh Council, through Economic Development and Communities and Families, issues funding to providers to offer subsidised childcare for working parents on low incomes in Edinburgh, supporting approximately 800 families per annum. This is designed to support parents in the areas of the city which suffer from the highest levels of unemployment, poverty and inequality of access - North Edinburgh, Wester Hailes, Craigmillar and South Edinburgh. The subsidy is applied to eligible working parents to reduce the cost of their childcare as it is recognised that the cost of childcare is one of the major barriers associated with parents moving into work.. We would like to invite Providers to a Market Event on Wednesday 25th April 4.00pm in Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh EH8 8BG, to give us your thoughts on how the issues of the service can be addressed.
