Description

South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) is a Unitary Authority in the South West of England serving a population of over 260,000.

Integra is a South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) division who trade with schools, local public sector organisations, local businesses and provide services to the Council. Integra was established as a single 'Traded Services' team in 2011 when the catering, cleaning and professional support services were brought together within the Council and the majority of schools funding was devolved to schools. Traded Services formed a key part of the Council's strategy to protect high quality support services for schools, and continues to do so having been rebranded in 2015 as Integra, the trading arm of South Gloucestershire Council.

Integra offer a suite of services including Schools Support, HR, health and safety, information management and IT. The School Improvement Adviser Service is part of the wider team of School Support offering effective, high quality education, pupil and professional support services as a key factor in raising standards and improving outcomes for all learners in South Gloucestershire. Schools subscribe to the School Improvement Adviser Service and all School Improvement Advisers are self-employed.

The Council is seeking submissions from suitably experienced individuals, with a successful school leadership background or senior Local Authority experience, to take on the role of a School Improvement Adviser (SIA).

The Council wishes to establish a local multi-supplier DPS and is managing this procurement in line with the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Council will award the DPS as a central purchasing body for its own use.

The duration of the DPS is 3 years. Applications for suppliers to be awarded a place on the DPS will usually be opened once per year, during April/May for award of contracts in September of the same year. The Council reserves the right to re-open the DPS for applications outside of the normal window, if there is a requirement for additional capacity.
