Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Department for Education seeking a Chair for Sandwell Children's Social Care Trust. The role is focused on providing strategic leadership and oversight to enhance children's social care services in Sandwell, located in the West Midlands, England. The contract, awarded for £67,500 GBP, was initiated through a single tender action due to being below the threshold.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs).
