Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council is planning a procurement process titled "Early Years Capital Programme" aimed at enhancing the provision of funded Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) services in the region. The council intends to increase annual funded hours from 600 to 1140 by 2020. This project falls under the "works" category and is initiated by Renfrewshire Council, which serves as both the buyer and a central purchasing body. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a deadline for responses to a Market Analysis Questionnaire set for 12 noon on Friday, 31 August 2018. A market engagement day is scheduled for Tuesday, 4 September 2018, to provide further information for interested parties.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, refurbishment, and childcare services. Companies that can deliver new builds, refurbishments, and additional childcare facilities would be particularly well-suited to participate in this procurement. Given the project's scope to create a blended childcare model and expand accessibility, firms with expertise in early years education services, especially those equipped to fulfil government requirements for flexible and affordable childcare, will be advantageous in competing for this contract.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Early Years Capital Programme

Notice Description

The Scottish Government is committed to increasing the provision of funded Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) from 600 to 1140 hours per year by 2020. This will support child development by providing high quality services and will support parents to return to work or study.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Renfrewshire Council are carrying out a phased approach to delivery the increased entitlement over the next three years. Renfrewshire Council requires 5 new builds, 1 major refurbishment, 12 minor adaptations, 9 extensions and 3 new outdoors projects. Ensuring quality will continue to underpin the delivery of early learning and childcare across Renfrewshire. Also continuing to ensure that the expansion to 1140 hours of early learning and childcare is underpinned by the key principles of accessibility, flexibility and affordability. Renfrewshire's expansion plan will deliver the following: - an increase in the number of local authority establishments open over a longer day/year from 10 to 24 (includes one service for children with complex needs); - a reduction in the number of local authority services operating only in term time reducing from 22 to 13; - an increase in the number of places commissioned from independent and third sector providers under a framework agreement; and - a blended childcare model with childminders (split place between a childminder and nursery). The phasing plan will require to be refined on a year on year basis, in terms of establishing the exact places available to enable 1140 hours of early learning and childcare to be allocated. The Council has a duty to ensure that the legislative requirement to provide children with 600 hours of funded early learning and childcare is maintained. Nine early learning and childcare nursery classes, located in primary schools, have been identified to become an extended day/50 week per year establishment. The reason for this change of model is in response to the Government advice to 'use what you have'. Extending the operating hours of the nursery classes to a longer day and full year provision creates a significant number of additional places for children to access their 1140 hours of funded early learning and childcare. In order to assist with our market analysis, we are inviting interested parties to complete a Market Analysis Questionnaire to inform the contract strategy. Please submit your completed questionnaire to jenny.thomson@renfrewshire.gov.uk. The deadline for responses is 12 noon on Friday 31 August 2018. Any responses received following this deadline may not be reviewed by the Council. The Council is hosting a market engagement day on Tuesday 4th September 2018 and would like to invite the market to attend. This event will provide further information on the Early Years project. If you could like to attend this event please confirm your attendance with jenny.thomson@renfrewshire.gov.uk by Monday 3rd September 2018.
