## Summary

Powys County Council is inviting bids for a framework agreement for Early Years Pre School Education Provision in Powys under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 Light Touch Regime. The approved providers will offer services in various catchment areas, available as separate lots, for early years education for 3 and 4-year-olds. The initial contract duration is five years starting from September 2025, with an option to extend for an additional two years. The contract for each lot can further be reviewed under a pseudo framework with the possibility of new providers joining to meet future demand. Bidders have until 13 November 2024 to submit their proposals via the eTenderwales portal, and the contracts will be awarded by 15 January 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in early childhood education, child daycare services, or welfare services for children and young people to secure long-term agreements and predictable revenue streams. Providers with experience in delivering educational services and situated within Powys or nearby regions would be well-suited to compete for these contract lots, given the framework's structure allowing multiple awards and potential for partial bids. This procurement process ensures that high standards of service are maintained, presenting a chance for businesses to enhance their market position and collaborate with a regional authority dedicated to quality early years education.
