The Council aims to engage childcare providers to offer services in deprived areas of Edinburgh, supporting low-income parents in securing and retaining employment. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with the deadline for market engagement set for Friday 17th November 2023. This tender presents a business opportunity for childcare providers interested in delivering early learning and school age childcare services. Businesses focusing on child-related services and social support are well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement process is led by The City of Edinburgh Council, a regional authority in the UK, under the category of General Public Services. By participating in this tender, businesses can contribute to community welfare while expanding their service offerings in Edinburgh. ## Notice This is a PIN to explore the market only. The Council requires childcare providers to deliver childcare in each of the four localities in Edinburgh, targeted at the areas of highest deprivation (SIMD1 and/or 2) to ensure that there is childcare provision available for low-income parents moving into or sustaining employment. The service(s) would deliver early learning and childcare (ELC) and school age childcare for children aged 0 - 12 years, ensuring that it does not duplicate the support provided by national interventions such as the 1140hrs of funded childcare. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The information provided within the document uploaded should be read.
