The building will shortly be undergoing improvement works which are envisaged to be completed in time for the transfer. There is no contractual funding associated with the procurement. However government funding is passported through the Local Authority to all Ofsted registered childcare providers for 2, 3 and 4 year old children and the new Provider will access funding through this route.The Procurement is below the relevant EU threshold value for the purposes of The Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 and is not subject to The Public Contracts Regulations 2015
