Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council has completed the procurement for the "Early Learning and Childcare Flexible Framework (Nurseries)" under the open procedure, aiming to provide early learning and childcare services within the region of East Dunbartonshire, classified under CPV code 80110000. This procurement formed part of a flexible framework agreement which allows new applicants to join throughout the duration of the contract, although funding placements are limited to those on the framework by August 2024. The procurement process reached the award stage, resulting in contracts being awarded from 1st July 2024. The council, based in Kirkintilloch, managed the tender with a stated value representative of fees paid to providers, ensuring service delivery in education and social protection categories was effectively sourced at a regional or local authority level.

This contract entails significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the childcare and early education sectors, as evidenced by several SME suppliers participating and being awarded contracts, including nurseries and childcare centres across Glasgow and East Dunbartonshire. Businesses involved in early learning and childcare, or those seeking to enter the framework arrangement, stand to benefit by expanding their services to meet local authority requirements. The flexible nature of the framework allows SMEs to apply for inclusion and aim for placement funding before the designated August 2024 deadline, promoting long-term growth and stability within this sector. The open procurement method and electronic submission via Public Contracts Scotland streamline application processes, fostering competitive participation and simplified access for eligible service providers.
