## Summary

Clackmannanshire Council is launching a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of partner status to providers of Early Learning and Childcare services, specifically within the industry category of pre-school education services (CPV 80110000). This tender is currently in the active stage with the procurement title "Provision of partner status to providers of Early Learning and Childcare - Dynamic Purchasing System." The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing multiple suppliers to qualify and participate. The tendering process, which commenced with electronic submissions, is set to end on 30th June 2026 at 12:00 PM BST. The location for service delivery is specified as region UKM72. The total contract value is estimated at £26,787,236, with a maximum contract period for the services specified as 3600 days.

Notably, successful inclusion in the DPS will allow businesses to participate in future call-offs for service provision, potentially expanding their clientele and market reach. Businesses that specialise in childminding or early learning and childcare provision are especially well-suited to engage with this tender, benefiting from its substantial contract value and long contract duration, thereby fostering stable, long-term business growth.
