## Summary

The North Somerset Council is seeking an Independent Evaluator for a Social Impact Bond initiative titled "Independent Evaluation for Social Impact Bond." The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with a contract value of £150,812. The evaluation is essential for addressing the challenges faced by vulnerable families and children in care within the South West region of the United Kingdom. The contract period commenced on 29 October 2017 and will run until 28 October 2018. Interested parties should note that the original tender period ended on 9 August 2017 and that the procurement was conducted via an open procedure.

This contract presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in analysis services, particularly those with expertise in business analysis, data analysis, and survey services. Businesses looking to engage with public sector evaluations are well-suited for this tender, especially those capable of demonstrating experience in delivering assessments aimed at improving social outcomes. Small and medium-sized enterprises, while not indicated as eligible, may still seek partnerships or collaborations to enhance their competitiveness in future tenders of a similar nature.

## Notice

North Somerset Council is a high performing unitary authority. Overall the area we serve is a prosperous one with great potential for growth but there are also significant pockets of real deprivation. The Council benefits from a strong political commitment to innovation and has ambitious plans to improve the lives of local people and achieve better outcomes for children and families. We share with many areas the challenge of a significant number of children in care, and a range of related social problems characteristic of coastal communities. Our profile of looked after children indicates that we have a high proportion looked after under voluntary arrangements (i.e. under section 20 of the Children Act 1989) particularly in the 10 - 17 years age range. It is well documented that outcomes for children and young people looked after are not generally as favourable as the wider population. In response the Council has commissioned an intensive family support service through a Social Impact Bond (SIB) investment model that aims to 'turn the tide' on these poor outcomes for vulnerable families. This contract has appointed an Independent Evaluator to assess the success of the Turning the Tide SIB.
