    Brief

    The Council seeks qualified early learning and childcare providers to deliver funded services through a flexible framework arrangement. This opportunity is available to providers who meet statutory requirements under Scotland's Standards in Schools Act 2000 and the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, which mandates 1140 hours of free provision for eligible children. Accepted providers will deliver services under the Funding Follows the Child model, allowing parents and carers to choose providers that best suit their family's needs. Successful applicants will register children in 2027, commencing brokerage placements from Q3 2027 and funded Early Learning and Childcare placements from August 2027. Providers must meet legislative requirements, the Council's procedural standards outlined in the Invitation to Tender, and accept the Council's specified rates and contract terms. This is the September 2026 re-opening of the framework; existing framework members do not need to reapply.
