## Summary

The procurement process titled "Assessed and Supported Year in Employment and Practice Supervisor Development Programme" is led by the Department For Education, situated in London, England. This initiative falls under the social work and related services industry and is part of an open tender process, with an estimated total value of up to £4.7 million. The tender phase concluded on 12 March 2018, and the awarded contracts span from 2 April 2018 until 31 March 2020, indicating a significant commitment to enhancing the skills and effectiveness of social workers through structured programmes.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in education, social work training, and leadership development, particularly those that can deliver integrated services addressing the needs of newly qualified social workers and the development of practice supervisors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly encouraged to compete, leveraging their expertise in nurturing frontline practitioners and promoting service quality in the social care sector.

## Notice

See 'Attachments' for full description. This invitation to tender provides exciting opportunities to support the development of child and family social workers at two levels and is split into two lots, the first for the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) and the second for the Practice Supervisor Development Programme (PSDP). ASYE currently in its sixth-year, is an employer-led, induction programme, helping newly qualified Social Workers (NQSWs) transition from initial qualification into frontline practice. It is key to growing confidence amongst NQSWs and influences the quality of support and service provided to vulnerable children and their families. PSDP is intended to be a leadership and management development programme for child and family social workers in local authority employment. Practice Supervisors play a pivotal role in delivering good quality services to children and families through their support and oversight of frontline practitioners. Estimated total value: up to PS4.7m across two lots
