The Department for Education have been unable to confirm to Nursery World whether organisations will be able to bid for the contract, but said that the Foundation Years website and comms support would be put out to tender shortly.
The news comes as Sue Robb, who heads up Action for Children's strategic early years and childcare partnership with DfE, including managing the Foundation Years website, is due to leave the charity for a job with Australia’s largest early learning provider.
The DfE has confirmed to Nursery World that organisations will shortly be able to put in bids for the management of the Foundation Years website and wider communications support, once Action for Children's VCS funding comes to an end in September. The opportunity will go up on the Contracts Finder section of the gov.uk website.
