## Summary

Clackmannanshire Council has modified a contract under Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 to ensure continued delivery of Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) services. The contract, titled "Early Learning and Childcare Funded Providers," falls under the services category, specifically child daycare services, and is tied to Clackmannanshire, region UKM72. The procurement process, which began as a tender, is currently in the award stage with a temporary modification to extend the service until the next admission window in the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for funded ELC providers. The current contract period is set to bridge the gap until 31st December 2026 or the earlier completion of the DPS application round in November 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the childcare sector to engage with public procurement and expand their portfolio. The requirement for continuity in statutory funded childcare provision highlights the demand for reliable nursery and daycare services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in child daycare services within the Clackmannanshire region would find themselves particularly well-suited to meet the needs specified by the Council. The temporary and urgent nature of this procurement process underlines the necessity for providers with capacity and capability to promptly accommodate childcare needs, offering potential long-term economic benefits for suppliers who successfully engage with the Council's requirements.

### Lot Information

Nursery Provision

There are currently 48 children accessing statutory funded childcare provision through this provider The service has advised that: Immediate termination of provision would significantly disrupt childcare arrangements for children and families. Alternative providers are unlikely to have sufficient capacity to accommodate all affected children within the required timescales. Continuation of provision is required to support delivery of the Council's statutory duties in relation to funded ELC. Failure to maintain continuity of service would present operational, reputational and service delivery risks for the Council.
