## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Education, which is seeking an adviser in Gloucestershire to support the improvement of children's social care services that have faced challenges identified by Ofsted. This tender falls under the development consultancy services category and the procurement method is selective, utilising a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract, valued at £32,400, commenced on April 13, 2020, and extends until March 31, 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in social care. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) may find this a suitable bidding opportunity, given the emphasis on developing realistic plans for improvement in a critical public service sector. Companies that can demonstrate a robust understanding of social care reform and hands-on experience in similar projects will be well-placed to compete.

## Notice

The adviser will support the authority in continuing to develop and implement robust, realistic and achievable plans to improve its children's social care services, in particular those areas which have been judged by Ofsted to be inadequate or where serious concerns have been identified.
