The overarching aim of this research is to provide up to date information on parents' and carers' use of and views about ELC and its impact, to evaluate the implementation of the expanded entitlement to 1,140 hours and inform the ongoing delivery of funded ELC. It will also support the development of Scottish Government policy on early learning and childcare, for example the ambition to provide early learning to all 1 and 2 year olds.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 8 and 9 of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016.",
