Published justification

Following Phase 1 & 2 funding received from the Scottish Ministers for Clackmannanshire Council’s Early Adopting Communities Project, the Council has received further funding to continue to develop and test a community-based system of before and after school childcare and during holiday periods where families on lowest incomes will pay nothing. The Scottish Ministers funded Project includes for the provision of funding to named providers including Clackmannanshire Sport and Leisure, Community House Alloa, Hawkhill Community Association, Connect Alloa, Play Alloa, Kidz-World, Alva Play Pals, Clackmannan Development Trust, The Gate – Alloa, Forest School Association, Clackmannanshire Economic Development Trust, Stramash, Little Stars, Flying Start Nursery, Glenview Nursery, Action for Children, Homestart, NHS Forth Valley, SCMA, Promoting a More Inclusive Society (PAMIS), Ochil Youth Community Initiative (OYCI, family Support Collaborative. On the basis the funding is to be provided to named providers in terms of the grant conditions and the possibility of competition is therefore absent for technical reasons, the Council intends to rely on Regulation 33 (1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 to enter into contracts directly with the named providers

Publisher note: Scottish Government funding has been provided to continue the existing Child Wellbeing Partnership (Early Adopter Community) service into 26/27. (SC Ref:830188)
