Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves West Lothian Council, which is seeking bids for the "Early Learning & Childcare - Re-opening of framework 2020" contract. This competitive tender falls under the services category and is located in Livingston, UK. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the tender was officially submitted on 5th August 2020, with the bid submission deadline set for 4th September 2020. The award of the contract was completed on 12th October 2020, with the contract valued at approximately £200,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in early learning and childcare services, particularly SMEs capable of meeting the required national standards. Companies that are agile in adapting to light-touch regulatory frameworks and can potentially offer competitive hourly rates are well-positioned to compete. Providers who previously participated in the existing framework (Contract Reference CC10056) have an added advantage as they may not need to submit new applications to remain eligible for the framework. Therefore, businesses with a strong background in providing educational services to children would benefit from participating in this re-opened framework.
