Description

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The intent of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is for Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) to qualify agencies, organizations, companies, or corporations interested in providing before and after school childcare services at school locations for the 2025–2026 school year, starting in August 2025, with the opportunity to extend services for six additional school years. Only those applicants who successfully respond to the RFQ and meet the qualification criteria will receive and be included in the subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP) for before and after school childcare services. The successful applicant(s) will receive a permit from the Community Use of Public Facilities (CUPF) for the school year beginning 2025-2026. The permit will be renewed annually without a scheduled rebid for six (6) additional years except as noted below. Once qualified, applicant RFP submissions may be accepted on a continuous basis for these services, however evaluations of proposals will be performed in October and April of each school year for services expected to begin the following school year. This multi-step process is being used to identify and pre-qualify those companies with the experience and financial stability to operate a successful program. Vendors are invited to submit their qualifications in accordance with the requirements set forth herein.
