## Summary

Clackmannanshire Council is currently involved in the procurement process titled "Early Learning and Childcare Funded Providers," aimed at delivering early learning and childcare services. The procurement method employed is a selective procedure under a Dynamic Purchasing System, with an estimated contract value of £4,776,347. The relevant procurement stage is the active tender phase, which is expected to conclude on 1 July 2021. The location for service delivery is within the UKM72 region in Alloa, and the contract's industry category falls under general public services according to the COFOG classification.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the education and childcare sectors, particularly for independent childminders and private nursery providers that can meet the national standards set for funded service delivery. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as organisations with experience in early childhood education, are well-suited to submit bids. Suppliers already in the Dynamic Purchasing System do not need to reapply, thus fostering potential growth for new entrants who can demonstrate compliance with the established criteria.
