For the purposes of this opportunity the definition of childcare is that which is specified in the Childcare Act 2006. 'The provision of paid for childcare services by a private, voluntary or independent body or individual to a parent or carer for the daily care of their child from the ages of 6 weeks- 14 yrs or through funded government places for eligible children i.e. 2, 3 and 4 yr olds whilst they work or undertake training'. The successful Provider(s) will also be required to enter into a legal agreement with the Council stipulating the terms of the transfer. The nature and content of this agreement will be informed by the business plan submitted by the successful Provider(s) and subsequent discussions between the Council and the Provider(s). Additional information: The successful Provider(s) are required to take account of sustainable development e.g. social and economic impacts of delivery. Accordingly contract performance and conditions may relate in particular to social and economic considerations. Please note: The requirement will take the form of a business transfer. Upon transfer the provision will operate independently of the Council and the successful Provider(s) will income generate through their own business activities. It is not anticipated that any form of on-going payment will be made by the Council to the provider(s) for childcare services, other than in respect of funded places for 2,3, and 4 year olds.
