What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionUK7 - Contract Details Notice.
Background/Context
Local authorities are required to undertake a full assessment of the childcare provision in their area every five years. This is done through the production of a Childcare Sufficiency Assessment (CSA). Through the CSA, the local authority will need to assess the local childcare market to develop an understanding of parents’ current and future need for childcare. The local authority will compare the assessment of parents’ demand for childcare with information about the current and planned availability of childcare provision across the local authority area. 2. Scope of Work
The contract holder will be responsible for collating and analysing data and providing a narrative on the demand, supply and gaps in childcare in Wrexham from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, population data, Care Inspectorate Wales Self-Assessment of Service Statement, survey results, and consultation feedback. Full data requirements can be found in the Childcare Statutory Guidance 2026.
