## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has issued a planned tender titled "Affordable Childcare for Working Parents" in the services category, targeting childcare services in Edinburgh's most deprived areas to support low-income parents in employment. The procurement process seeks providers to deliver early learning and school-age childcare for children aged 0-12, with the deadline for returning questionnaires set for Friday, 17th November 2023.

This tender by The City of Edinburgh Council presents an opportunity for childcare providers to engage in market exploration and contribute to community development. Businesses capable of delivering childcare services in socially disadvantaged areas and meeting the specified criteria are well-suited to participate in this future procurement process, aimed at supporting families in need within Edinburgh.

## Notice

This is a PIN to explore the market only. The Council requires childcare providers to deliver childcare in each of the four localities in Edinburgh, targeted at the areas of highest deprivation (SIMD1 and/or 2) to ensure that there is childcare provision available for low-income parents moving into or sustaining employment. The service(s) would deliver early learning and childcare (ELC) and school age childcare for children aged 0 - 12 years, ensuring that it does not duplicate the support provided by national interventions such as the 1140hrs of funded childcare.
