The procurement process reached the award stage by August 2025 but was marked unsuccessful. Initially planned in November 2024, the tender was opened for submissions and concluded in January 2025. This service falls under the 'General public services' industry category, aimed at supporting work-life balance for government employees. The project was to have launched in July 2025 and extended until June 2028, with an option for a one-year renewal. This procurement opportunity is particularly appealing for businesses experienced in nursery or childcare services, as the provider was expected to manage on-site operations fully. Companies registered with the Care Inspectorate and showcasing a strong track record in similar services could benefit from participating in such tenders. The business potential includes managing a prime childcare service location while engaging in a long-term relationship with a government client, potentially enhancing the service provider's credibility and market presence. Additionally, the requirement to adhere to environmental management standards and prompt payment practices adds appeal for businesses looking to demonstrate sustainability and reliability in their service offerings. ## Notice A concession contract to provide a workplace nursery for children of Scottish Government staff at Victoria Quay, Edinburgh. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The requirement aims to establish a workplace nursery at Victoria Quay, Edinburgh, to support Scottish Government staff by providing accessible, high-quality childcare on-site.
