What is being bought

The North West Regional Improvement Plan Pilot (NW RIPP) received ministerial approval in October 2023. It was launched in January 2024 as a collaborative initiative between the Department and regional partners to improve Children's Social Care (CSC) across the North West region. It was developed, following feedback from the region, as an alternative to appointing a Strategic Improvement Adviser, as committed in the Department's CSC reform strategy, "Stable Homes, Built on Love". The NW RIPP forms part of the Department's wider Children's Social Care Improvement and Intervention (CSCII) programme and is delivered through the Regions Group.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Welfare services for children and young people (85311300); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Indicative price outcome

£32,530 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £50,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
