## Summary

The procurement process for the Slough Children’s Services Transition Project involved the Department for Education as the buying organisation, which has its headquarters located in London, England. The project primarily centres around the provision of legal services, specifically for the drafting of corporate governance documentation required for establishing a local authority owned Children’s Services Trust in Slough. The total value of the contract is £120,575, and the procurement method used was selective, executed through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 2nd September 2020 and concluded on 31st March 2021, while the tender period ended on the same date as the contract commencement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in legal services related to governance for public sector organisations. Businesses that have experience with local authority projects or developing governance frameworks would be well-suited to capitalise on future tenders of a similar nature. Engaging in legal consultancy work for children's services can enhance a firm's portfolio, creating pathways for growth and collaboration within the public sector.
