## Summary

The Department for Education has successfully completed a tender titled "Devon Adviser," focusing on health and social work services. This contract, valued at £27,840, was awarded on 30th April 2021 and will run from 4th May 2021 to 4th April 2022. The procurement process was conducted using a selective method through a dynamic purchasing system, with the tender period coming to an end on 30th March 2021. The contract location is within the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, to engage in the health and social work sector. Companies with expertise in providing advisory services, change management, and oversight programmes would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts within this framework. The successful contractor, Alastair Gibbons, is expected to enhance the authority's improvement plans, indicating an ongoing demand for skilled contractors in this field.

## Notice

The Contractor will provide a clear and sustained focus on the areas for improvement and ensure independent oversight of the authority's progress in line with improvement plans. In doing so, the Adviser is expected to supervise the programme of change that the authority has embarked on, to drive forward the improvements and implement close monitoring arrangements, and build on the work that has already taken place.
