## Summary

The public procurement process involves the Department for Education, seeking a Commissioner for West Sussex. This tender, titled "West Sussex Commissioner," falls under the health and social work services category. The location of the contract is in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, with the tender period ending on 20th May 2021. The awarded contract is valued at £28,800, with the contract period running from 20th May 2021 to 31st March 2022, using a selective procurement method via a dynamic purchasing system.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in children's social care and related service transformations. Companies with expertise in managing services for vulnerable children, particularly SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-suited to participate. Engaging in this contract may enhance their reputation and visibility within the sector, enabling them to establish vital relationships with local councils and other stakeholders for future growth.

## Notice

The Commissioner will play a high profile role in a challenging political and delivery environment. He or she will bring extensive and proven skills in children's social care transformation to deliver a robust assessment as to how improvements to services for the most vulnerable children can best be secured within the local context. In doing so, the Commissioner will set expectations for how services might best be delivered outside of council control, leading and brokering relationships with senior council leaders and their partner organisations. Alongside this, the Commissioner will direct work to secure urgent improvements to ensure that children in the Authority are safe.
