The project, conducted in the UKM71 region, specifically in Angus, underwent an open procurement process using an open procedure method. Significant dates entail the publication of the contract notice on 17th December 2024, with a tender submission deadline on 31st January 2025. Following the tender stage, the contract was awarded on 6th June 2025 and signed on 25th April 2025. The services tender emphasizes education and care for eligible children and includes the provision of a free meal.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by the award to numerous suppliers, including local nurseries and childminding services within Angus.
