DN771150-Childcare Provision-Stapleford Pavilion-BBC

Nottinghamshire County Council spearheaded a procurement process for weekday childcare services targeted at pre-school-aged children (0-4 years) in Stapleford Community Pavilion. This project was in collaboration with Broxtowe Borough Council and executed through Liberty Leisure Limited. The procurement was conducted via an open competition method that fell below threshold limits.

The agreement specifies a three-year contract with the potential for an extension of up to 12 months. Ducklings Nursery Limited was awarded the contract to deliver these services, with the contract period commencing on 1 September 2025 and concluding on 31 August 2028, with the possibility to extend to 2029. The initiative was categorised under "Child daycare services" within the services industry, located predominantly in the UKF16 region, Nottingham, United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant prospects for childcare service providers, especially those within the private, voluntary, and independent sectors who have maintained Good or Outstanding Ofsted grades. Participating businesses can expand their service offerings and strengthen their presence in the Nottinghamshire area by applying innovative childcare solutions tailored to the local community's needs. With the flexibility of extending the contract and opportunities for electronic submissions, SMEs and VCSEs are well-positioned to engage in this growth avenue, fostering collaborations and expanding their market reach within the regional framework.
