## Description

Leeds City Council is looking into a potential procurement option to put in place future contractual arrangements for suitably qualified and experienced organisations to deliver the Little Owls Daycare Provision\. Leeds City Council is currently exploring alternative options for the delivery of the Little Owls daycare provision at certain Little Owls nursery sites in a more cost-effective way\. 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\.
