HMRC are looking for a supplier who is an early years expert with the aim of building local authority (LA), key stakeholders, including potentially family facing professionals such as health visitors, and childcare provider capability to maximise parental participation in the Tax-Free Childcare (TFC) offer. The successful supplier will work with them to develop strategies to engage parents, and to help reduce the barriers which prevent families from accessing TFC.
The supplier will need to utilise the most appropriate methods, either digital or face to face to deliver the relevant training courses to the identified stakeholders. There will be an expectation that the supplier will be able to maximise attendance targeting each country in the UK and give equal opportunities for participants to access content after an event if attendance at the course is not possible.
The supplier would be expected to demonstrate that they have the relevant relationships with family facing professionals, and experience and subject knowledge of the childcare market to provide effective capability-building and challenge to LAs, childcare providers and health visitors (and any other suitable professionals) in maximising participation in government childcare offers.
They will be required to have access to a list of the professionals they suggest engaging with and their contact details. There will also be a requirement to establish relationships with LAs to secure engagement in workshops to upskill LA officials.
