      Child daycare services. DVLA requires expressions of interest for the provision of a nursery and playscheme service. The nursery facility has a maximum capacity for 121 children and holds a BREEME excellent status. Estimated income is 500 000 GBP per annum with potential for growth. The contract will be let for 3 years with the option to extend for a further 1 year + 1 year. The Contracting Authority wishes to appoint a service provider to provide a high quality nursery service for pre-school children to operate 52 weeks a year; an after school collection service within a five mile radius of the DVLA Main Site (term time) and a playscheme service for 4 - 11 year olds (non term time). The service provider will be responsible for ensuring that the nursery complies, at all times, with the National Minimum standards for providers of full day care issued by the Welsh Assembly Government under section 79C of the Children Act 1989. The Nursery will be primarily for the use of staff employed at DVLA and, when agreed by DVLA, some non-DVLA parents. Additionally, whenever possible, short-term childcare is to be provided for staff whose normal childcare arrangements have broken down. The Nursery operates on Crown Premises. DVLA seeks a proposal that the rent, rates, service charges, daily cleaning (apart from light spills needing immediate attention and dishes/cutlery) and all maintenance work are borne by the service provider. The service provider will be responsible for ensuring that the nursery complies, at all times, with the following: Childminding & Daycare (Wales) Regulations 2002, Children Act 1989, Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Health Services and Public Health Act 1968 and other relevant statutes or regulations including any laid down by the Local Authority (City and County of Swansea). The new supplier will need to obtain Care Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW) DVLA Nursery building approval prior to the commencement of the service.
