Framework for the provision of Early Years Services

Tenders are invited for inclusion on the framework for the provision of a range of Early Years Services. This framework is intended to make procuring Early Years Services quick, simple and cost effective for Derby City Council.

There are four Lots as follows:

• Lot 1 - Link officer for allocated early years and childcare provider.

• Lot 2 - Safeguarding and child protection priority support.

• Lot 3 - Quality improvement programmes.

• Lot 4 - Speech, language, and communication (slc) development.

There is an annual budget of up to £80,000.00 across all Lots. However, no guarantees of business value or volume can be given. Service Providers will have to form their own views as to the potential for such an arrangement.

Please note, suppliers wishing to express interest and obtain the documentation, must do so by 17:00 on 29th November 2017. It is recommended that you express interest and obtain the documentation well before this time to allow sufficient time to prepare and submit a comprehensive response.

The deadline for returns is 10:00 on 30th November 2017.

Please visit the Council's e-tendering system at https://www.eastmidstenders.org where you can express interest and obtain the documents. The reference is DN302821.

Please note we will only accept expressions of interest through the e-tendering system.
