## Summary

The procurement process involves the appointment of a Children's Services Commissioner by the Department for Education, aimed at reviewing and improving services for vulnerable children in Surrey County Council.

This procurement process was conducted through an existing framework agreement, which concluded the tender period on 13th June 2018.

## 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.
