Leeds City Council is currently exploring alternative options for the delivery of the Little Owls Daycare Provision at certain Little Owls nursery sites. We are seeking informal market sounding information from suitably qualified and experienced organisations that may be interested in delivering the provision at these sites. Leeds City Council wishes for high quality provision to children to continue to be delivered from these sites. We are interested in exploring options for other organisations to run and manage this delivery for children and are seeking the views of organisations to inform decision making on potential future arrangements. To support this, we would like to gain information from the market regarding a number of issues related to the potential procurement exercise. You are therefore invited to consider the programme requirements detailed in this document, and complete the attached questionnaire to give us your feedback on the proposed approach. This Market Sounding Exercise (MSE) is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. Leeds City Council, as contracting authority, is issuing this request for information only, in order to assess the reaction of the market and thus make any potential procurement process more focused and efficient. The Little Owl settings that are the subject of this market sounding exercise are: • Bramley • Burley Park • City & Holbeck • Hawksworth Wood • Hunslet Rylestone • Hunslet St Mary's • Meanwood • Osmondthorpe • Parklands • Quarry Mount • Rothwell • Shepherds Lane Further information relating to the background, and engagement with parents can be found here - [leeds.gov.uk](https://www.leeds.gov.uk/consultations-and-feedback/little-owls-review) We will also be holding two 1-hour briefing events, on Thursday the 22nd August at 1-2pm and Thursday 5th September at 11am-12pm.
