Birmingham City Council (the Council) wishes to invite potential suppliers to express an interest in the provision of school improvement services. The council is commissioning school improvement to raise standards in schools and to improve outcomes for all children and young people in the city. The service will extend across statutory school age provision, and include a focus on improving outcomes for vulnerable populations. The council’s role following the awarding of a new contract will include involvement in the decision making surrounding the use of the statutory powers of intervention (including IEBs and warning notices), managing the “cross-cutting” process, and maintaining an overview of school improvement and those activities involved in contract management. This will be delivered via the intelligent client function; this combines subject matter expertise and contract management.
