DfE wishes to appoint Commissioners to provide operational and strategic advice, support and challenge in Barnet, Kirklees, Reading and Worcestershire. Commissioners will provide a clear and sustained focus on the areas for improvement and ensure independent oversight of progress in line with agreed improvement plans. In doing so Commissioners are expected to supervise the programme of change that the authority has embarked on, to drive forward the improvements and implement close monitoring arrangements, and build on the work that has already taken place. The successful bidders will bring their extensive and proven skills in children's social care transformation to deliver the programme of change to services for the most vulnerable children in these authorities. They will demonstrate an understanding of the improvement that has already taken place in the authority and what needs to happen next.

The maximum contract values are Barnet - PS107,520 Kirklees - PS48,960 Reading - PS92,160 Worcestershire - PS92,160
