## Summary

Medway Council is seeking tenders for the "Early Years Support and Moderation" service, aimed at enhancing early years educational provisions in the South East of the United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the education and training services category and is currently active, with the tender period concluding on 22 July 2019. The contract is valued at £38,000 and is set to commence on 1 August 2019, running until 31 July 2021. The procurement method is open, allowing for a wide range of submissions.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for growth in the education sector, particularly for businesses specialising in early childhood education, training services, or childcare support. Companies equipped to provide high-quality service delivery in moderation and support for childcare settings would be particularly well-suited to compete. With a focus on fostering development in young children, businesses that can demonstrate expertise in creating impactful educational frameworks may find this tender an excellent fit for their capabilities.

## Notice

High quality early years provision is key to enabling children to develop well, and to reach their potential. There is a wealth of evidence identifying the importance of the early stages of a child's life, and Medway Council recognises this importance within the Council Plan (2017/18 update); Supporting People to Realise their Potential is one of the Council's three core priorities. The Early Years support and moderation service will provide a range of support to childcare settings, childminders and Early Help Services in Medway, as outlined in section three of this specification. Full service deliverables can be obtained from within the specification on the Kent Business Portal
