Contract Provider Procurement: Live Budget Q&A

This video is the recording from the 04-12-24 Live Budget Q&A for two posted requests for responses (RFRs) for early education and care programs that will invest an estimated $400 million a year to provide care for approximately 20,000 children eligible for child care financial assistance. EEC is updating and re-procuring these services for the first time since 2009, which will improve the customer service experience for families, strengthen and align educator staffing and training requirements across programs, improve performance monitoring and effectiveness, and continue efforts to simplify rates for providers.
