Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process led by Stirling Council involves the initiative "Funded Providers 2024" in the industry category of General public services, with the aim to provide early learning and childcare services alongside local authority nurseries and childminders. The procurement process, which follows an open procedure, included several stages with the key contract signing date on 19th July 2024 and the initial tender period closing on 7th June 2024. The project location is UKM77, which encompasses the Stirling area. This procurement has reached the award stage, with a total contract value of £13,816,800 GBP, and it is now active, with the contract running from 1st August 2024 to 31st July 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for SMEs within the early learning and childcare sector. With multiple suppliers such as Bright Stars, Little Stars, and several other local nurseries having been awarded contracts, smaller enterprises focused on high-quality early childhood education stand to benefit greatly. The open procedure and the strategic importance of the procurement make it an attractive opportunity for businesses that meet the suitability criteria, such as having management or lead practitioners trained to the required SCQF level 9 or above in Childhood Practice.
