This opportunity is categorised under education and training services, specifically targeting pre-school education services, and will be located across various regions in the United Kingdom, including London, the North West, and the South East. The anticipated contract period is from 8 February 2021 to 31 May 2021, with a planned future notice date on 11 January 2021. Interested parties must register on the DfE's Jaggaer e-procurement system by no later than 8 January 2021 to access the procurement process. This tender presents remarkable opportunities for businesses specialising in early years education, particularly those with expertise in physical education, literacy, and child development. Firms that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SME) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) would be well-suited to compete. By supporting the implementation of the revised Early Years Foundation Stage framework, successful bidders will contribute significantly to improving educational outcomes for pre-reception providers, thereby fostering community engagement and establishing themselves as key players in the education sector. ## Notice The purpose of this prior information notice is to notify the market of the Department for Education's (DfE) intention to undertake a procurement exercise to appoint up to 4 suitably experienced organisations or individuals to support the implementation of the revised Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. The revised 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 is looking to appoint early years experts to work with the DfE digital design team to support the development of the content for this online offer. This PIN notifies of our intention to procure for experts with specialisms in physical education, literacy, understanding the world, expressive arts and design. The Department reserves the right to extend this contract by up to a further 2 months in monthly increments subject to business need.
