Overview

Summary

The Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) seeks qualified contractors to provide Physical Activity and Nutrition Programming resources for afterschool program providers supporting students in low-income and high-need communities. This initiative will fund one or more vendors to design and deliver program materials ("kits") focused on recreational activity and cooking/nutrition education for K–12 afterschool environments.

Note: CREC is issuing a parallel solicitation for STEM Education Programming (STEM Kits) on the same timeline. Vendors may respond to either or both solicitations independently.

Background

The Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) is the first and largest of Connecticut's six Regional Educational Service Centers (RESCs). It serves thirty five member public school districts of north central Connecticut. CREC was established in 1966 as a grassroots effort of local school districts under the provisions of the Connecticut General Statute (C.G.S.), Section 10-66 a.-n. The Connecticut State Department of Education is CREC’s regulatory State agency.

Publicly elected board of education members appointed by each member school district served by CREC as CREC Council directors govern CREC. The office term of such appointed Council directors cannot exceed four years. The Council appoints an executive director to serve as the executive agent of CREC. Pursuant to C.G.S. 10-66c, CREC, as a regional educational service center, is a body corporate and politic and, as such, is a public educational authority acting on behalf of the State of Connecticut. The Internal Revenue Service has determined CREC to be an organization described in Section 170 (c) (1) of the Code. CREC's mission is to improve the quality of public education through cooperative programs.

CREC is pleased to make this RFP available and looks forward to receiving your Proposals.
CREC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
