Manchester is offering unprecedented market opportunities for experienced childcare providers in the near future.
Manchester City Council is committed to ensuring that its diverse population of young people get the best possible start in life, regardless of background, and are well supported throughout their early years. The Council are therefore looking to accept bids from high-quality day care providers, whether large or small - private sector, third sector or community-based, to deliver high quality day care in Manchester.
Analysis of the market shows that there is a wealth of potential opportunity in Manchester, and if you would like to know more Manchester City Council are holding events across the country.
In total, Manchester hope to award contracts for over 29 centres across the city, which will be available from late spring 2013 and early 2014. The events will outline details on each site (these are also available to organisations which comply with the tendering framework) and the Council welcome interest for single and multiple sites.
With the first new centres opening their doors from September 2013, the Council look forward to working with providers to develop the future of childcare across the city.

London - Monday 11 February 2013, 3.30 – 6.00pm
