In plain English

Powys County Council is looking for childcare providers to deliver free early years childcare for 2-year-old children across Powys. They're setting up a framework agreement (a pre-approved list of suppliers) so multiple childcare settings can be commissioned to provide up to 2.5 hours per day of quality childcare, focused on language, cognitive, social and emotional development.

What the buyer wants

• Provide free Welsh Government childcare for eligible 2-year-olds in Powys, up to 2.5 hours per day (maximum 12.5 hours per week) • Deliver early years education and development across five key outcomes: language, cognitive, social/emotional development, physical health, and early identification of high needs • Participate in a framework agreement model where the Council will call off services as needed from approved providers

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract is only open to registered childcare settings and early years providers. Self-employed tradespeople, construction firms, cleaners and maintenance contractors will be disqualified: you must be a licensed childcare provider with qualified early years staff and approved premises.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
