Legally Exempt Enrollment Services

The Richmond County government authority is seeking a vendor to provide legally exempt enrollment services. The agency needs to ensure that child care providers who are legally exempt from licensing requirements are properly evaluated, enrolled, and monitored for regulatory compliance. This initiative aims to solve the problem of administrative oversight and compliance verification for these specific child care providers within the jurisdiction. The scope of work covers the comprehensive evaluation of enrollment and re-enrollment application documents to ensure accuracy and completeness. The selected vendor must verify prior licensing or registration enforcement issues and check for any history of parental rights termination. Additionally, the agency requires the vendor to issue notices within timeframes required by regulation or defined by the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). The project also requires the vendor to provide technical assistance and corrective action plans to parents and providers regarding regulatory compliance. The agency is granting the vendor the authority to terminate enrollment for non-compliance with these regulations. All work must be performed offsite at the vendor's own office premises. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed specific evaluation criteria or key dates in the initial request.
