Description

The Department of Children and Families (DCF) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather insights and information on innovative solutions for their suite of child care systems, which are critical to DCF's mission and infrastructure. The desired solution should improve operational efficiency by enhancing value, reducing costs, increasing effectiveness, and accelerating service delivery while keeping up with industry trends. DCF seeks to understand the cost and timeline of various solutions to inform both short- and long-term modernization plans. Questions regarding the RFI should be submitted as described in the RFI document Section IV and not through eSupplier.
