This procurement falls under the services category and involves delivering subsidised childcare for working parents on low incomes, designed to support approximately 800 families per year in areas with high unemployment and poverty. Key dates include a Market Engagement event scheduled for 25 April 2018 at Waverley Court, Edinburgh, with a deadline for providers to confirm attendance by 20 April 2018. Interested parties must contact Susie Donkin to register their attendance. This procurement process presents significant growth opportunities for childcare providers, particularly those focused on affordable services for low-income families. Businesses that specialise in childcare services, especially those dealing with subsidisation, community engagement, and family support, would be well-suited to compete. The engagement session aims to gather insights from various providers to shape the future requirements for subsidised childcare in the city, making it an essential occasion for potential bidders to share their ideas and capabilities. ## Notice Market Engagement event only in which the City of Edinburgh Council would like to invite all interested childcare providers to attend an Emerging Themes session to hear about the findings from co-production and to discuss the future requirements for subsidised childcare in Edinburgh. To this end we are keen to engage with a range of providers who would be interested in providing these services. Please refer to Briefing note for further information. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The City of Edinburgh Council, through Economic Development and Communities and Families, issues funding to providers to offer subsidised childcare for working parents on low incomes in Edinburgh, supporting approximately 800 families per annum. This is designed to support parents in the areas of the city which suffer from the highest levels of unemployment, poverty and inequality of access - North Edinburgh, Wester Hailes, Craigmillar and South Edinburgh. The subsidy is applied to eligible working parents to reduce the cost of their childcare as it is recognised that the cost of childcare is one of the major barriers associated with parents moving into work.. We would like to invite Providers to a Market Event on Wednesday 25th April 4.00pm in Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh EH8 8BG, to give us your thoughts on how the issues of the service can be addressed. Please refer to Briefing note for full expectations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR316497 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Apr 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Jun 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH8 8BG | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM75 City of Edinburgh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85311300 - Welfare services for children and young people ## Release History - 11 Apr 2018 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR316497 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=APR316497&idx=1 12th April 2018 - Briefing Note - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR316497 Subsidised Childcare for Working Parents - Market Engagement event only in which the City of Edinburgh Council would like to invite all interested childcare providers to attend an Emerging Themes session to hear about the findings from co-production and to discuss the future requirements for subsidised childcare in Edinburgh.
