Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council has recently completed a procurement process titled "CP1423-17 Mock Inspection of Devon County Council's Children's Services." This contract, which falls under the social work and related services industry category, was awarded for a total value of £26,000. The mock inspection is scheduled to take place from 21 March 2017 to 15 June 2017, following a preparatory phase and a site visit. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the tender period ended on 6 March 2017. This project aimed to enlist a highly experienced team of consultants with specific expertise, ideally those who have worked as Ofsted Inspectors.

This tender presents significant opportunities for consulting firms specialising in social services inspections or related consultancy services. Businesses that have experience with children's services, particularly those with a background in regulatory inspections, will be well-suited to compete. Given that the awarding authority is keen on professional expertise, firms that can demonstrate a proven track record in conducting similar assessments and possess a strong understanding of the requirements laid out by Ofsted will stand a good chance of winning future contracts in this space. The inclusion of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) also highlights the commitment to engaging a diverse range of suppliers.
