## Summary

The City of London Corporation is initiating a tender for the "Early Years Quality Improvement Project," targeting the education and training services industry. This project aims to enhance early language and communication programmes for schools recovering from the Covid-19 outbreak. The tender was published on 30th June 2020 and is currently in the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 2nd July 2020. The relevant services must be delivered in London, with the total available budget for the project amounting to £84,000, allocated flexibly over two academic years from September 2020 to July 2022. The procurement method is an open procedure, which allows all eligible suppliers to submit proposals.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in early childhood education and support services, particularly those focused on language development and educational recovery programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are specially encouraged to apply, indicating a supportive environment for innovative solutions. Competing organisations should ideally possess experience in educational settings and have a robust understanding of the unique challenges faced by early years providers in the aftermath of the pandemic.

## Notice
