The Council encourages all types of organisation who meet the qualitative selection criteria including Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organisations, Social Enterprises or not for profit enterprises and small to medium enterprises (SME) to tender.
Current status / Background
The current children’s centres were commissioned between 2016-2017 to deliver the provision of early education services and hosting a range of Bright Start Islington services.

The current contracts come to an end on 28 February 2023.

The providers will have a sound knowledge of working within the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and contribute to the outcomes as identified within the specification.
The providers will need to have a strong governance structure in place and a finance team which is able to understand the complexities of various funding streams from the council and Department for Education.
The providers will understand all safeguarding requirements as set out by the London Safeguarding Children’s Board and comply with local safeguarding processes.
The providers will work closely with a variety of council officers and health partners in order to deliver the service, this can include (for example), Bright Start, special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) team, safeguarding, finance and the Family Information Service (FIS). Multi-disciplinary working is essential for delivering outcomes for children and their families.
