CHILDRENS SERVICES COUNCIL OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, a special taxing district, and EARLY LEARNING COALITION OF PALM BEACH COUNTY are jointly Issuing an INVITATION TO NEGOTIATE
PURPOSE: The intent of this Invitation to Negotiate is to secure an ENTRY AGENCY to serve as the access point into a system of services for children ages 1 to 5 years and their families. The selected agency will determine eligibility for prevention and early intervention services, provide screening and assessment, education and referral, outreach and linkages to programs and services within the system. All services must be culturally and linguistically responsive to the populations served. The Entry Agency will not provide the actual prevention and early intervention services, but will match eligible clients to appropriate service.
WHO: A nonprofit or government agency that does not or will agree not to provide direct services to clients served through either the Childrens Services Council of Palm Beach County or the Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County.
