## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the Department for Education, involves the appointment of a Children's Services Commissioner in Surrey, aimed at improving services for vulnerable children. This tender, classified under social work and related services, has a total value of £36,000 and is part of a selective procurement method through a dynamic purchasing system. The tender period ended on 1st June 2018, while the contract period spans from 25th June 2018 to 19th October 2018, with the procurement status now marked as complete.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in children's social care transformation and related services, particularly those capable of delivering robust assessments and improvements within local government contexts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, given their ability to adapt and respond to the specific needs outlined within the contract, making it an ideal opportunity for businesses looking to expand their influence in the public sector.

## Notice

The Department has appointed a Commissioner to undertake a review in Surrey County Council. 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 delivering 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.
