This initiative aims to support the region in achieving children's social care improvement goals by identifying innovative support models and delivering solutions as part of a regional improvement plan. A virtual Market Engagement event is scheduled for 17th April 2023. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 8th May 2023. The project falls under the Health and social work services category and is open to businesses interested in collaborating on social care improvement strategies. The Department for Education is seeking an experienced leader to facilitate social care improvements in the North West region. Businesses in the health and social work services sector with a focus on innovative solutions and regional collaboration are well-suited to compete for this opportunity. The project presents a chance for businesses to support the delivery of improvement plans and develop strong working relationships with key stakeholders. Interested parties can register for the Market Engagement event via the DfE e-procurement portal to explore partnership possibilities and contribute to the region's social care improvement efforts. ## Notice The purpose of this Early Engagement Notice is to notify the market of a potential procurement activity relating to the Department for Education's North West Strategic Improvement Advisor (SIA) pilot.
