Description
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) is creating a rolling‑enrollment list of qualified trainers and training‑content developers to support early‑education, child‑care, and after‑school/out‑of‑school (ASOST) programs. Vendors will be evaluated on qualifications, subject‑matter expertise, references, and supplier‑diversity commitments, with no fixed dollar value disclosed; contracts will be awarded on a project‑by‑project basis as needs arise.
• Scope: Design, develop, and deliver professional‑development trainings (in‑person, virtual, or hybrid) for EEC staff and ASOST providers.
• Contractor qualifications: Must meet one of four trainer tiers (foundational, advanced, content‑specific, or academic) and demonstrate relevant experience.
• Contract terms: Initial 4‑year term (July 1 2023 – June 30 2027) with two optional 3‑year renewals, up to a maximum of 10 years; compensation is project‑based or hourly, negotiated per assignment.
• Supplier Diversity: Minimum 1 % spend with certified diverse partners, with evaluation points tied to commitment level.
• Submission: Complete all required attachments (W‑9, signatory listing, supplier‑diversity plan, prompt‑pay discount, etc.) via COMMBUYS; bids accepted through March 15 2033.
