## Summary

Renfrewshire Council, a regional authority providing general public services, has awarded a contract to Ram 211 Limited for the provision of Early Learning and Childcare places in the Renfrewshire area. This procurement falls under the services category and follows a negotiation procedure without prior call for competition, as permitted by the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016. The contract, valued at £631,835, was signed on 1 April 2026. The process started under a tender initiated by the Council on 11 June 2026 and is now in the award phase, ensuring continuity of childcare services for eligible children within the region.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for SMEs involved in educational services, particularly those offering childcare and early learning facilities, to engage with local authorities in delivering essential public services.

Businesses capable of providing high-quality childcare services stand to benefit from similar opportunities as they emerge within public sector frameworks.
