The Early Years
programme is due to be extended for six months to a total budget of
£585K. A decision is required regarding the specifics of this
extension – timeframe, budget reductions.
It is anticipated that new contracts would begin, dependent on the
funding available on the 1st Oct 2015. For this reason, a
retendering process would need to commence in April 2015.
Therefore a decision concerning the opening of a tender is also
requested.
Following this tender process, contracts will be issued for two years from 1.10.15 – 30.9.17 with a total value of £468 502 per annum / £973 004 for the two year duration.

Consultation process
The Early Years outcomes framework is
currently being co-produced with parents – both those who
attend commissioned services and those who don’t. To date, 77
parents have been involved in the conversation. These conversations
will continue until end April 2015.
Children Centre staff, outreach worker and all professionals with
an interest in Early Years will input into the framework through a
workshop held specifically for them, in March 2015.
Over the next 12 months, a series of asset mapping events will be
held across the Children Centre clusters to identify local
resources which are achieving the outcomes from the
framework.
