The procurement is currently at the planning stage with a deadline for submissions set for 5pm on 30th July 2018. Interested parties must submit required documentation to Karen Donaldson at the Council's Education & Social Care department, located at High Street, Elgin, IV30 1BX, UK. This procurement falls under the services category, with a focus on general public services as defined in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses involved in early childhood education and care, particularly childminders who hold Grades of 4 or above. The funding structure for eligible services can support sustained business growth, as it provides hourly rates for childcare services.
