Notice Description

Quotation for a Board Development Programme to support the Sandwell Children's Trust This procurement process is being conducted by Sandwell MBC on behalf of the Sandwell Children's Trust. However, the successful bidder will be entering into a contractual arrangement with Sandwell MBC. The Trust is a new, not-for-profit, operationally-independent organisation that has been established by the Council following the statutory direction of the Secretary of State as a company limited by guarantee for the purposes of delivering children's social care services in Sandwell.

The Council intends to enter into a ten-year contract with the Trust for the delivery of children's social care services. Building on recent improvement, the Sandwell Children's Trust will first put in place the necessary improvements in children's social care to reverse the fragility and weakness still apparent in service delivery.
