## Summary

The procurement process pertains to a feasibility study commissioned by H M Revenue & Customs concerning the evaluation of the labour and childcare market impacts of the Tax-Free Childcare scheme and the Free Entitlement to Early Education and Childcare. This study, classified under research services, aims to understand and measure various impacts quantitatively and qualitatively. The project is located in London and was completed on 30 September 2015, with the award being dated 22 April 2015 and valued at £48,400.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in quantitative and qualitative evaluations related to childcare and labour markets. Consulting firms, think tanks, and economic research organisations would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts, leveraging their skills to support government initiatives that aim to improve childcare accessibility and workforce participation.

## Notice

The overall objective of the study will be to support HMRC and DfE understand how the impact of the new Tax-Free Childcare scheme and the FEEE on both the labour and childcare markets can be measured. The emphasis of the study should be assessing the feasibility of a quantitative evaluation, but we are also interested in any relevant qualitative measures. This study will be then used to inform the evaluation strategies for both TFC and the FEEE.
