[More contracts for small businesses and VCSEs](https://tendernation.io/opportunities/for-small-businesses) ## About this tender In June 2021, £153 million was announced for the Early Years Education Recovery (EYER) package. The EYER package aims to build a stronger, more expert workforce, enabling settings to deliver high quality teaching and help address the impact of the pandemic on the youngest children, particularly those in the most disadvantaged areas. The L3 Review project is the third strand of the EYER package as a whole. It seeks to improve the quality and rigour of the Level 3 early years qualification, including the criteria, through consultation and engagement with stakeholders and users, rigorous analysis of new and available data, thereby strengthening its quality and evidence-base. The DfE will shortly be publishing a tendering opportunity (w/c 28/02) to commission an organisation or suitable consortia, who can: - collect evidence from a range of user groups across the EY sector, on how the existing criteria, as well as the overall qualification and the delivery of this, could be improved. - using the evidence gained from this research, develop recommendations for improvement, including a set of redrafted criteria. - upon completion of the review, present findings from the review, including the set of recommendations for change, to DfE. PLEASE NOTE: We have estimated the value of this opportunity to be between £200,000 and £324,000.
