## Summary

The Department for Education is seeking an Adviser in Bradford to support improvements in children's social care services within the region, specifically Yorkshire and the Humber. This contract, classified under Education and training services, has been awarded to Support Too for the amount of £33,120 GBP. The procurement process followed an open procedure and was formally completed on 24 January 2019, marking the beginning of the contract period from 28 January 2019 to 24 January 2020. The tender period ended on 14 January 2019.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses experienced in social care improvement, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) with the requisite expertise. Companies equipped to provide independent oversight and execute change programmes can leverage this contract to expand their services and client base in the public sector, specifically in the area of vulnerable children's welfare.

## Notice

The authority has recently been placed in intervention and is starting implementation of its improvement plan. The Adviser will provide a clear and sustained focus on the areas for improvement and ensure independent oversight of the authority's progress in line with improvement plans. In doing so, the Adviser is 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 bidder will bring their extensive and proven skills in children's social care improvement to support the delivery of a 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.
