Summary, notice description and lot information
Renfrewshire Council is planning a public procurement process for a new Flexible Framework for Early Learning and Childcare Places, set to replace the current arrangement expiring on 23 May 2026. The procurement is focused on engaging local service providers within the Renfrewshire area, classified under "General public services" (COFOG) and the CPV code 85312110, mainly concerning social and other specific services. Currently, in the planning stage, this procurement is set to advance as an Open procedure exceeding the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) threshold according to Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
A future notice is expected in early August 2025, with the tender to be issued shortly thereafter, allowing for significant time leading up to a competitive submission phase. This tender provides a considerable opportunity for businesses within the registered day-care and childminding sectors to expand their operations by becoming part of a wide-ranging framework in Renfrewshire. Such businesses would need to be compliant with the new shared inspection framework starting September 2025, and must be registered with the Care Inspectorate.
Additionally, providers should have requisite insurances and a thorough approach to cyber security in place. The two-lot structure caters to both Registered Day-Care Providers and Registered Childminders, allowing an adaptable and scalable approach for new entrants. The framework's design ensures that local providers can offer supplementary early learning services, thereby tapping into funded entitlements and strengthening their market presence through Council-backed visibility.
This development promises growth for adept service providers ready to align with regional public service demands.
The future tender procedure shall be conducted in accordance with an above Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) Threshold as an Open procedure relating to Services under Schedule 3 - Social and Other Specific Services of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
