This open procurement process has four specific Lots focusing on link officers for early years providers, safeguarding support, quality improvement programmes, and speech and language development. Key dates include the deadline for expressions of interest on 29th November 2017 at 17:00 and the return deadline by 30th November 2017 at 10:00. The contract period is set to commence on 1st February 2018 and will run until 31st January 2021, covering services classified under education and training sectors within the East Midlands region. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector entities involved in early childhood education and care. Suitable businesses should possess expertise in delivering child safeguarding support, quality improvement services, or specialised speech and language assistance. Engaging in this framework could enhance service provider networks and expand business avenues within the local community, all while contributing to the quality of early years services in Derby. ## Notice Tenders are invited for inclusion on the framework for the provision of a range of Early Years Services. This framework is intended to make procuring Early Years Services quick, simple and cost effective for Derby City Council. There are four Lots as follows: * Lot 1 - Link officer for allocated early years and childcare provider. * Lot 2 - Safeguarding and child protection priority support. * Lot 3 - Quality improvement programmes. * Lot 4 - Speech, language, and communication (slc) development. There is an annual budget of up to PS80,000.00 across all Lots. However, no guarantees of business value or volume can be given. Service Providers will have to form their own views as to the potential for such an arrangement. Please note, suppliers wishing to express interest and obtain the documentation, must do so by 17:00 on 29th November 2017. It is recommended that you express interest and obtain the documentation well before this time to allow sufficient time to prepare and submit a comprehensive response.
