## Summary

The procurement process for the role of Commissioner in Stoke-on-Trent has been initiated by the Department for Education, with a total contract value of £33,600.

The contract period commenced on 10 September 2020 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2021. The procurement process was completed on 10 September 2020, and the awarded contract is currently active.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in children's social care transformation and related health and social work services. Companies that are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to engage with this contract, given the emphasis on delivering improvements in service provision for vulnerable children outside of council control.

## 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.
