Coverage: 54 active published awards; 8 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
Swindon Borough Council (SBC) Children’s Services is currently projecting a significant overspend which presents a material risk to the Council’s Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP). At the same time, the Council has an established Children’s Improvement Plan and a range of service, workforce and practice reform activity underway.
Previous external support has generated recommendations but has not resulted in:
~Sufficient ownership by service managers and directors
~Clear accountability for delivery
~Robust governance and oversight
~A clear line of sight between service change, improvement actions and financial impact
The Council is therefore seeking external support to co-produce a single, integrated and delivery focused plan that aligns improvement, reform and savings activity and can be confidently overseen through existing governance arrangements.
