## Summary

The Department for Education has concluded the procurement process for the "Childrens Services Commissioner in Croydon," an initiative within the education and training services sector. This tender is classified under the CPV code 80000000 and is located in Croydon, England. The contract was awarded on 4th August 2017, with a contract period starting on 4th September 2017 and concluding on 3rd December 2017. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and the tender period ended on 4th July 2017.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in educational consultancy and improvement services. Companies equipped to support local authorities in enhancing children's services, and those familiar with public sector procurement processes, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The successful supplier, EDB Associates Ltd, received an award amounting to £38,400, highlighting the financial potential within this sector for qualified service providers.

## Notice

Where Ofsted finds systemic or persistent failure by a local authority to provide adequate children's services, the Department for Education initiates steps to secure improvement, with a presumption that this will best be achieved by removing the service from council control. DfE wishes to appoint Commissioners to deliver intervention and improvement support in Croydon.l
