## Summary

The procurement process involves Torbay Council, which is seeking to acquire an "Early Years Funding Software" system to manage funding claims for children attending local childcare providers. This open tender, classified under database software packages (CPV code: 48611000), is currently in the award stage, with a contract value of £150,000. The tender period closed on 10th September 2019, and the awarded contract is scheduled to commence on 18th October 2019, running until 18th October 2022. The relevant location for this contract is in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in software development, implementation services, and support. Businesses capable of providing tailored electronic hosted systems with a strong understanding of educational funding processes will be ideally positioned to compete. Given the substantial annual funding administered through this system, potential suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate reliability and expertise in serving the education sector effectively.

## Notice

Torbay Council Early Years' Service needs to procure a new on-line electronic hosted system for administering funding claims and associated processes, for children attending a funded place in a childcare provider in the local area. A new system is required to replace the current system, which is due to be decommissioned at the end of 2019. The system is a vital tool for the service and will be used to administer funding payments totalling around PS5m annually. The Council's Early Years' block of the Dedicated schools grant (DSG) is also reliant on the information within the system through the annual census process.
