## Summary

Clackmannanshire Council is conducting an open procurement process for the "Provision of partner status to providers of Early Learning and Childcare - Dynamic Purchasing System" with a significant budget of £26,787,236. The contract aims to grant partner provider status for statutory pre-school services in Alloa, Scotland, specifically in the UKM72 region. This tender, currently in the tender stage, falls under the general public services industry category and utilises an open procedure for the procurement of services. Interested parties must submit their electronic bids by the deadline of 30th June 2026, with the bid opening scheduled for the same date.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in early learning and childcare services, particularly those eligible to provide statutory pre-school education. With an open procedure, this procurement allows for a wide participation base, encouraging SMEs, micro businesses, and self-employed entities to compete. The absence of price evaluation and primary focus on compliance with statutory selection criteria means businesses that align with regulatory requirements stand a solid chance of securing a place in the dynamic purchasing system.
