## Summary

Dorset County Council is procuring specialist training services titled "Reinvigorating Social Work Training" aimed at empowering social workers through a programme focused on relationship building and improving outcomes for children and families. This tender, classed under education and training services, is currently in the Award stage, with a total contract value of £84,000. The contract period is set to commence on 1st September 2017 and will run until 31st August 2018. The procurement was carried out using an open procedure, with the tender closing on 3rd July 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and social work training services, particularly those with a focus on relationship-based and restorative practices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as there is a strong emphasis on co-production with the RSW support team. Companies that can demonstrate innovative approaches aligned with the Department for Education's operating model and who are willing to collaborate closely with the existing team will be best positioned to succeed in this competitive environment.

## Notice

For the provision of Specialist Training to support the Reinvigorating Social Work (RSW) Programme, which is a programme of learning, development and support aimed at empowering social workers. It promotes practice based on building relationships and improving outcomes for children and families. The Provider shall deliver one or two lots: Lot 1 - Relationship based practice and Lot 2 - Restorative practice. There would be an expectation that the successful suppliers would be willing to coproduce the final delivery programme with members of the RSW support team. This might involve taking part in teleconferences and meetings during the period of the RSW programme. There was a clear expectation that Providers would include content relating to the RSW operating model that defines what "good" outcome focussed practice looks like and the innovation we are testing as part of the DfE funded project. The RSW support team will work closely with the supplier to ensure we have a "golden thread" that runs throughout the whole learning and development programme.
