The re-contracting process with the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA) childcare funding programmes 2018/2019 will begin on Monday 28th May.
The process this year will be similar to last year, where each service must certify a 2018/19 PAU, Organisation details and Service details in order to activate any contracts.
This year the process will be released in two phases. Phase 1 will be available from Monday 28th May and will entail: – PAU Certification – Organisation details certification – Service details certification
Phase 2 will be available from Monday 11th June and will entail: – Re-contracting – Fees lists – Service Calendars
How to guides will be posted on the PIP portal in the coming days.
Note: For Services who still wish to activate a 2017/18 contract:
From Monday 28th May, services will have to complete the 2018/19 Readiness tasks in order to activate any contract. If you wish to activate a 2017/18 contract using your current PAU, you must do so before 3pm on Thursday 24th May. After this date you will have to certify your 2018/19 PAU before you can activate any contract.
If you are a new organisation and wish to participate in the DCYA childcare funding programme, contact Longford County Childcare Committee for an application form for the programme you wish to participate in.
