Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Local Government Association (LGA) is seeking tenders for a project titled "Personal safety events for councillors," focusing on the delivery of three webinars designed to enhance the personal safety of councillors across England and Wales. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 12th November 2021. The events aim to equip attendees with practical strategies and tools for safe working, addressing topics such as risk assessment, technology use, and strategies for dealing with harassment and threats. The contract is set to commence on 17th November 2021 and will run until 31st March 2022. This opportunity falls under the services category, specifically classified as research and development services and related consultancy services, with an open procurement method applied.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for consultancy firms with expertise in personal safety and risk management, particularly those familiar with the context of local government and councillor interactions. Companies that can demonstrate an understanding of unique safety challenges faced by local councillors, as opposed to Members of Parliament, will be well-suited to compete. This initiative not only provides an opportunity to develop a robust consultancy relationship with the LGA but also to enhance the safety protocols within local government operations, potentially leading to further engagements in the public sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

GB-London: Personal safety events for councillors

Notice Description

The LGA is seeking to commission a consultant (either an individual or an organisation) to deliver three events giving councillors basic tools around personal safety. The events will be open to councillors across England and Wales. The objectives of the events are to give councillors the basic tools to improve their personal safety and equip attendees with practical and sensible strategies for safe working. Content should include, but not limited to, risk assessment, tips and tricks to safe working, use of technology and cyber, harassment and physical threat (including knife attacks if possible). The events should be designed for a large audience and presented as a webinar to include a presentation from the contractors and time for questions from the audience. The contractors must have experience of personal safety in the context of local democracy and be able to demonstrate their understanding of how this differs from the context in which MPs operate, and be able to offer practical solutions to support councillors in their interactions with residents safely.
