NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The North Lanarkshire Council has awarded a contract for the "Bespoke Early Years Agreement" to Kidstore Childcare Ltd. The contract, with an active status, was signed on 24th February 2023 and is valued at £427,000. The agreement focuses on securing continuity with an incumbent Contractor in the Kilsyth area for a large volume of children seeking nursery placements. This limited procurement process employed an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on the proposed Contractor due to lack of capacity in the local area.

This contracting opportunity for the "Bespoke Early Years Agreement" presents a chance for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises, to cater to early years provision services in the Kilsyth area. Companies specialised in childcare services and experienced in providing quality nursery placements would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process aimed at fulfilling the growing demand for early years education services. With a focus on quality and seamless service provision, businesses can leverage this contract to foster growth and contribute positively to the local community's educational landscape.

Notice Title

Bespoke Early Years Agreement

Notice Description

Bespoke Early Years Agreement to secure continuity with an incumbent Contractor in the Kilsyth area for a large volume of children (returners and new) seeking their nursery placements.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Negotiated contract award procedure in conformance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 to secure a contract with an essential Contractor for a 12-month period.

Procurement Information

The proposed Contractor is currently used for funded early years placements for approximately 70 children in session 2022/23, with 57 expected to seek further placement with the proposed Contractor in session 2023/24. The Contractor is on the existing Council Framework for Early Years provision, but this framework is due to expire in July 2023. In error, the proposed Contractor did not apply to the replacement Framework. While a replacement framework has been established for the next 4 years (commencing August 2023) there is insufficient capacity in the local area to grant funded placements for the 57 children elsewhere and therefore there is a reliance on the proposed Contractor.
