Description

Bespoke Early Years Agreement to secure continuity with an incumbent Contractor in the Kilsyth area for a large volume of children (returners and new) seeking their nursery placements.

Total Quantity or Scope

Negotiated contract award procedure in conformance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 to secure a contract with an essential Contractor for a 12-month period.

Award Detail

CPV Codes

• 80110000 - Pre-school education services

Legal Justification

The proposed Contractor is currently used for funded early years placements for approximately 70 children in session 2022/23, with 57 expected to seek further placement with the proposed Contractor in session 2023/24. The Contractor is on the existing Council Framework for Early Years provision, but this framework is due to expire in July 2023. In error, the proposed Contractor did not apply to the replacement Framework. While a replacement framework has been established for the next 4 years (commencing August 2023) there is insufficient capacity in the local area to grant funded placements for the 57 children elsewhere and therefore there is a reliance on the proposed Contractor.
