Your application should be submitted to the council electronically to daynurseryprovision@milton-keynes.gov.uk and by no later than 12 noon, Wednesday 30 November 2011.

Update 28 November 2011 Following feedback, the process has now been enhance to maximise support for applicants, so that the Council can ensure they achieve the best outcome for these Day Nursery Provisions. The Clarification Meetings will now also provide feedback to applicants on the relative strengths and weaknesses of their applications. Following these meetings there will be guidance to assist applicants in the further development of their applications (Human Resources, Legal, Finance, Nursery Operations/Quality etc). There will also be support in relation to the potentially complex areas of Staff Transfers under TUPE and ongoing Pensions Provision, where a number of suitable options are available. This additional guidance will enable applicants the opportunity to refine their applications to ensure that, on final submission (31 January 2012), they are as comprehensive and commercially robust as possible.

For the Wolverton Site only there is the additional concession that the initial application date, where necessary, can be extended from 30 November 2011 to 31 January 2012. Applicants who wish to take advantage of this extension should email us at their earliest convenience so that we can facilitate a Clarification Meeting (Email: daynurseryprovision@milton-keynes.gov.uk).
