## Summary

The procurement process titled "Slough Commissioner" is managed by the Department for Education, targeting the health and social work services industry within the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender was conducted through a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, completing on 1st January 2020. The total contract value is £40,000 with the contract extendable until 30th June 2020. The award notification was published on 23rd October 2020, detailing the successful supplier as TCD & Associates Limited.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in children's social care transformation services and related support areas. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to engage in this procurement, especially those with experience in driving improvements in vulnerable children's services. Companies able to demonstrate robust approaches to service delivery outside of council control will likely find themselves in a competitive position for future contracts in this domain.

## Notice

The Commissioner will play a high profile role in a challenging political and delivery environment. He or she will bring extensive and proven skills in children's social care transformation to deliver a robust assessment as to how improvements to services for the most vulnerable children can best be secured within the local context. In doing so, the Commissioner will set expectations for how services might best be delivered outside of council control, leading and brokering relationships with senior council leaders and their partner organisations. Alongside this, the Commissioner will direct work to secure urgent improvements to ensure that children in the Authority are safe.
