The supplier will be responsible for creating Advisory Boards of children and young people aged 11-25 with a wide range of care experience. The aim for the board is that the members can bring fresh perspectives and challenge to our policy development as we move into the delivery phase of reform and that the views they share are given equal weighting to those from the sector. Young people have told us that opportunities to share their views with Ministers and senior civil servants directly is important to them. SCS across children's social care agree that this is a priority, and that we need to continue listening to children and young people as an integral part of our work. The Supplier will support us with these key elements, especially bringing safeguarding expertise and knowledge of effective pastoral care and experience in enabling children and young people to engage in a professional environment. The supplier will also support us with protecting children and young people's personal data. The supplier will adhere to DfE's stringent standards on GDPR and IT security and standards and demonstrate this effectively through their policies, procedures and practice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a751ed0-2e56-4b7b-81dd-49e595a7c921 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 16 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | 17 Jul 2023 | | Award date | 12 Dec 2023 | | Contract period | 12 Dec 2023 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £149,169 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £149,169 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2FJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NATIONAL CHILDRENS BUREAU | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85320000 - Social services ## Release History - 22 Apr 2024 at 08:51 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a751ed0-2e56-4b7b-81dd-49e595a7c921 - 8 Jan 2024 at 15:56 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a751ed0-2e56-4b7b-81dd-49e595a7c921 - 14 Sep 2023 at 10:40 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9fff79e-5275-43ee-89d9-e65b42a50e2a - 14 Sep 2023 at 10:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9fff79e-5275-43ee-89d9-e65b42a50e2a - 22 Jun 2023 at 14:43 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f2a0562-ba02-40a0-90cc-53f3cb61938a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a751ed0-2e56-4b7b-81dd-49e595a7c921 22nd April 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9fff79e-5275-43ee-89d9-e65b42a50e2a 14th September 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f2a0562-ba02-40a0-90cc-53f3cb61938a 22nd June 2023 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3ff09b2e-62f7-46f0-a10a-cdf7fee13467 n/a - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education/about/procurement#jaggaer-the-dfe-etendering-portal Jaggaer e-procurement portal LINK - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a4ab68c7-d642-4f09-8c35-290eef114e6a n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
