## Summary

The Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council has awarded a contract titled "Training for Children's Social Care, Engagement, Assessment & Therapy" to Intraquest. This procurement, classified under education and training services with a subcategory of health and social work services, took place in the North West region of England. The award was finalised on 21st February 2018, following a tender process that ended on 16th November 2017. The contract, worth £120,000, has been initiated to bolster social work managers and staff in forming effective relationships with service users, aiming to facilitate better engagement and outcomes.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those with experience in social care sectors. Organisations offering consultancy or training services focused on the development of reflective and restorative practices would be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may benefit greatly from similar contracts, as they can leverage their capacity to provide tailored solutions that promote effective engagement with diverse community needs.

## Notice

Many families who come into contact with Children's Social care services struggle to engage with services. Some have had generational experience of non-engagement with services set up to support them.
