The Department for Education has awarded a contract titled "Herefordshire Adviser" for health and social work services to Rhodes White Consultancy. This contract, valued at £28,800, is based in the West Midlands and aims to provide oversight and improvement assistance to local authorities. The contract period commences on 3rd May 2021 and continues until 4th May 2022. The procurement process followed a selective method, with the tender period concluding on 30th April 2021.

This opportunity can foster business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) adept in providing consultancy services in health and social care.
