What the buyer is asking for

City of York Council are seeking to commission a school or school‑led partnership to provide strategic leadership, expertise, and coordination that strengthens early years practice across York. This commission sits within the wider Best Start in Life (BSIL) plan and will directly support the city's ambition that every child experiences connection, support, and belonging from pregnancy to age five.
