Notice Information

Notice Title

London Councils Unemployed Londoners Research

Notice Description

London Councils is committed to fighting for more resources for London and getting the best possible deal for London's 33 councils. We lobby for local governance for London boroughs, promoting their leadership of local communities and services and arguing for the tools necessary for them to do that job. We also act as a catalyst for effective sharing of practice, knowledge, information and services between boroughs. London Councils' Enterprise, Economy and Skills Policy Team is working with the GLA on the economic recovery. An immediate and pressing issue is the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on London's labour market. Between March and June 2020, London's claimant count increased by 146% (amounting to over 272,000 people) compared to 107% for the UK . London currently has the highest take-up of furloughed employment than any other region in the country at 17%. Background to the research London Councils is working with the GLA on developing a recovery programme for London, alongside other key stakeholders. This process is overseen by the London Recovery Board, which is establishing a missions-based approach to the recovery. The Board has set out the following Grand Challenge: Restore confidence in the city, minimise the impact on London's communities and build back better the city's economy and society. Nine missions have been identified, covering social and economic recovery. One of these missions is 'Helping Londoners into good work' - Support Londoners into good jobs with a focus on sectors key to London's recovery. London Councils and the GLA are currently undertaking some high-level mapping of current employment and skills provision across the capital. We want to establish whether existing provision is still suitable for the characteristics of London's unemployed population and whether there are gaps in provision for key groups. Likewise, we want to understand the likely change in the scale of demand for employment services - whilst recognising that not all unemployed Londoners would require public support to find another job. The aim of this project is to model the likely volume and characteristics of unemployed Londoners in the short term (from December 2020 to March 2021) and the medium term (up to September 2022) at a pan-London, sub-regional and, wherever possible, borough level. Bidders should see the rest of this notice and the ITQ and other bidding documents for full details on how to apply. Please send submissions to the email address specified in the ITQ quoting reference R1120a to arrive by 3pm, Friday 11 December 2020. Additional information: The given contract value of PS25K is the minimum value for contracts published on Contracts Finder but not the minimum value for this project. Bids may be submitted at higher or lower costs than this value but should be clearly costed, including number of days, as per the ITQ instructions. Queries should be submitted as instructed to the contact provided in the ITQ document. Responses to queries will be collated and the query log will be uploaded here within 1 working day where possible. Bidders should check back regularly throughout the advertising period to see if additions have been made to the query log since they last checked. Queries should be submitted before Tuesday 8 November. Queries relating to this notice or the documents should be sent to the contact provided in the notice.
