The tender titled "Early Years Foundation Stage reforms: Expert support to develop online content" is issued by the Department for Education, focusing on primary education services in the United Kingdom. The procurement, initiated as a selective tender, aims to create an online support system for early years providers ahead of the statutory implementation of the revised Early Years Foundation Stage in September 2021. The contract period spans from 18 January 2021 to 31 March 2021, with a contract value of £100,000. The tender process has been completed, and the contract was awarded to the Pen Green Centre, with potential extensions allowed based on business needs.

Notice Title

Early Years Foundation Stage reforms: Expert support to develop online content

Notice Description

The revised Early Years Foundation Stage(EYFS) will become statutory from September 2021 and will impact all early years providers in England. One of the ways we are supporting providers to implement the revised EYFS is through the development of an online support offer aimed at the pre-reception workforce (private, voluntary and independent providers (PVIs) and childminders). This online support offer will ensure the pre-reception workforce have the messaging and support they need to implement the changes consistently and in line with the policy intention. The Department for Education has appointed early years experts to work with the DfE digital design team to support the development of the content for this online offer. The Department reserves the right to extend this contract by up to a further 2 months in monthly increments subject to business need.
