Ofsted to privatise nursery inspections

'The inspection of nurseries and childcare in England is to be privatised, Ofsted has confirmed. The inspectorate for education and children's services is in the final stages of selecting private companies to run the checks. Tribal Group has been made the "preferred bidder" for one area of England, it is understood, but further announcements are expected. '
I received the above information yesterday via e-mail.
To be able to read more about this announcement, one has to register and login via these links. The registration is a three steps procedure as follows:

To be able to read any other information which is included on the list of announcements doesn’t require registration and login. I am not sure why one has to register and login to access this information where as the other links require no login at all.

The other announcements were:
