04/06/2021 - Approval to waive Contract Procedure Rules (CPR’s) 9.1 & 9.2 award a contract to Connect Childcare Group Limited for the provision of a Children’s Centre Nursery Business Management Software Solution.
The Council identified a number of suppliers
who can provide Children’s Centre Nursery Business Management
Software as an “off the shelf” solution, and invited
four suppliers to demonstrate their proposed solution. Three
suppliers accepted the invitation.
Each supplier demonstrated their solution to members of the
Children’s & Families Service and also submitted written
responses in relation to the Council’s functional and
technical requirements.
After completing a thorough review of each of the solutions, it was
determined that the proposed Children’s Centre Nursery
Business Management Software Solution from Connect Childcare Group
Limited most closely met the Council’s requirements and
offered best value for money.
The award of a contract to Connect Childcare Group Limited for the
provision of a Children’s Centre Nursery Business Management
Software Solution, for a period of three (3) years, from 10/06/2021
to 09/06/2024 is essential to support the Little Owls Nursery
business in the delivery of high quality childcare services across
the city.
