An independent Children’s Services Commissioner was appointed by the Secretary of State for Education to test this presumption in Bromley, and found that changes to the leadership and management of the service were promising enough for the service to remain in the Council’s control. Ministers have decided that, as this decision was finely balanced, the service should be kept under close review by a Commissioner who should report on progress in six months’ time. Additional information: Deadline for receipt of tenders 5pm on Tuesday 1 November 2016. Contract value Up to maximum of £17,280 incl VAT.
