## Summary

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. The award was published on 9 June 2021, following a tender period that concluded on 1 April 2021, with the contract set to last until 4 July 2022.

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). Companies possessing expertise in strategic leadership and social care improvement initiatives would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts, as they can offer valuable support to organisations aiming to enhance their service delivery in children's social care.

## Notice

The Chair shall provide support and strategic leadership to Sandwell Children's Trust in order to provide us with the necessary oversight and reassurance around Sandwell's performance, and to help provide strategic support in bringing together the various improvement partners who are working with Sandwell. The Contractor will support the authority in continuing to develop and implement robust, realistic and achievable plans to improve its children's social care services, in particular those areas which have been judged by Ofsted to be Inadequate.
