This tender involves the establishment of a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) for Early Years Education and childcare providers. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with applications being accepted until 22 August 2022. The total estimated value of the contracts under this PDPS is £186 million. The contract period is set to commence on 6 October 2022 and will conclude on 5 October 2027, with delivery addresses in England. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) within the education sector. Providers that wish to operate Early Years settings within Council premises, such as schools, should apply to join the PDPS to be considered for future contracts. By being part of this system, businesses can ensure their eligibility for a streamlined selection process, thus reducing barriers to entry in the provision of essential childcare services in Cambridgeshire. ## Notice Cambridgeshire County Council has launched this Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS), for providers of Early Years Education (EYE) and childcare. This is intended to be the only means through which providers can apply to run settings in Council-owned premises, as and when the need for such provision arises, providing a streamlined method of selecting the most suitable provider while minimising gaps in provision for Cambridgeshire's families. If you feel that you or your organisation may be interested in securing contracts to run EYE and childcare from Council premises, including schools, at some point in the future, you should submit an application to join the Pseudo DPS. Applications to join the PDPS will be evaluated in rounds, please see the Invitation to Tender for further details. It is important to note that childcare providers who are not on the PDPS, either because they have been unsuccessful or have not applied, will not be able to apply for any of these opportunities. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35bafa44-8d9e-4087-b8b2-a317388e404f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 9 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Oct 2022 - 5 Oct 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £186,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | HUNTINGDON | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE28 4YE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Huntingdonshire | | Electoral ward | The Stukeleys | | Westminster constituency | Huntingdon | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 22 Jul 2022 at 13:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35bafa44-8d9e-4087-b8b2-a317388e404f - 21 Jul 2022 at 08:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/17ba990b-3112-4111-964f-2b846474c786 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35bafa44-8d9e-4087-b8b2-a317388e404f 22nd July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/17ba990b-3112-4111-964f-2b846474c786 21st July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=b063f89d-c7eb-ec11-8115-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True Advert Link ## Notice URLs - https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
