## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Education seeking a Children's Services Commissioner in Wakefield. This tender falls under the social work and related services category and was published on 18th July 2018. The tender period concluded on 3rd August 2018, with a contract value of £41,280. The contract commenced on 20th August 2018 and is set to end on 21st November 2018. The procurement is selective, utilising a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and is located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in social care, particularly those with expertise in transforming children's services. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to consider participation, as the government's focus is on securing robust improvements in services for vulnerable children. Those with a track record in social work and related sectors would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## 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 delivering 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.
