This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and has a contract value of £38,300. The tender period will conclude on 11 March 2020, with the contract expected to start on 20 April 2020 and run until 28 February 2022. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing a wide range of suppliers to participate. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specifically in the childcare and social services sector, particularly those that can provide flexible and mobile childcare solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on innovative childcare provisions aimed at addressing barriers faced by families in Leicester and Leicestershire in accessing employment and training opportunities. ## Notice We are currently inviting applications from providers who are able to supply The GREAT Project with Childcare and Creche provision.
