Notice Title
Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs
Notice Description
The Department for Education aims to deliver a new network of Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs in England. The Hubs will be responsible for supporting other early years settings with adopting evidence-based practice improvements to address key COVID-19 recovery issues and build local networks for sharing effective practice. Building on the Early Years Foundation Stage reforms, the Hubs will be existing, well-established early years settings with expertise and knowledge of what works to support child outcomes, and the supporting evidence base. Hubs will also have demonstrable experience of delivering effective practice for the benefit of children. The programme is part of the Department for Education's PS180 million investment in recovery support in the early years sector. This contract is to support the delivery of 18 Hubs over the duration of the contract. This will involve co-designing and running an exercise to select the Stronger Practice Hubs, providing oversight and quality assurance of the Hubs throughout the delivery period and facilitating best practice and intelligence sharing between Hubs and with the Department for Education and other partners. This contract will run from July 2022 to December 2024, with a possible contract extension of one year. The programme set up period will run from July 2022 to November 2022, with Hubs expected to launch in November 2022. Programme delivery will run until October 2024, followed by a two-month wind-down period at the end of the contract. This contract is as a result of a competitive tendering exercise subject to OJEU principles and PCR 2015. This is a single stage open procurement exercise taking into account quality, price and social value.
