Lame duck Executive Council approves state childcare website support contract

The Executive Council met for the first time since the midterm elections on Tuesday and approved a million-dollar childcare contract with no debate. The vote amends an existing contract between the Department of Health and Human Services and MTX, owner of software company Salesforce, for technological support and services for the New Hampshire Connections Information Systems. The payment for fulfillment of the contract increased from over $812,000 to over $1.9 million, and will extend the Salesforce contract with the state from June 2027 to June 2029. New Hampshire Connections is the state-run website that handles the core childcare functions of licensing, background checks, professional development tracking and other childcare information for the families and childcare providers. Through contracts with the state, Salesforce helps to upgrade the website, as well as provide technical support.
