Delivery partner for Regional Adoption Agencies

Tender description

See Attachments for a Word description and additional information. We propose that the delivery partner support going forwards should include four strands, three of which build on existing activity: • Technical support - to provide individual support to projects to design and establish new RAAs., working with local authorities and the voluntary sector • Sharing learning across the programme and with individual RAA projects (these are currently set up into three groups based on stage of development) • Leadership development - support and/or training for RAA heads of service to be effective leaders of the RAA and, collectively, of the adoption system in England. This might cover skills in commissioning, performance management, financial management and other areas • Programme management - to provide the Department with programme information, risk analysis, and performance information. Given this is a significant change programme, it is vital that we have good intelligence. We would like this role with a specific focus on benefits realisation for individual projects and the wider programme
