Total quantity or scope of tender
We would expect any new provider to be able to deliver all Government funded Childcare programmes for 2 and 3 year olds whilst offering a wraparound service to private fee-paying families.
In light of the new Welsh Government proposals for delivery of childcare for children aged 9 months – 4 years old, 20 hours per week, 48 weeks per year, we welcome quotes from organisations who can explicitly detail how they intend to meet the proposed future requirements. The focus of the facility will be for children 2 – 4 years old.
