About
Devon County Council awarded a contract to The Exwick Ark Ltd for the transfer of Tresillian Early Years Centre, a 0-5 childcare nursery in Kingsbridge, to the Private Voluntary or Independent sector.
The contract includes a long lease of the DCC building, with improvement works to be completed prior to transfer.
The service currently has 66 children on roll and a waiting list, and is the only all-year-round full daycare in the area.
The contract value is £2,300,000.
No contractual funding is associated with the procurement; however, government funding for 2, 3, and 4-year-old children is passported through the Local Authority to Ofsted registered childcare providers, which the new provider will access.
The procurement is below the EU threshold for The Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 and is not subject to The Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
