Description
Worcestershire County Council's Children's Services is working to improve the quality and effectiveness of its services including social work practice. As part of this improvement journey, and in response to both the Ofsted inspection (judgement published 24 January 2017) and the Department of Education (DfE) Commissioner's report (published 19 September 2017), the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Children and Families has recommended that the Council voluntarily considers Alternative Delivery Models (ADM) for children's services in order to both accelerate and sustain improvement.
Worcestershire County Council has initiated a programme to appraise, design and implement an alternative delivery model for Children's Social Care. Phase 1 was the completion of an Options Analysis to decide the highest scoring ADM Option(s) (completed in December 17). Phase 2 was the completion of a Detailed Business Case on the final option chosen (to be completed by 31 March 2018). Subject to Cabinet Approval on the 29 March 2018 (papers available publically from 21 March 2018) and sign off by the Secretary of State, implementation will begin from April 2018, with an aim to go live in April 2019.
The purpose of the Tender is to identify a suitable organisation to support the Council in the next stage of our journey towards implementation of an Alternative Delivery Model (ADM) for Children's Services in Worcestershire.
