UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Local Government Association has initiated a tender process for the "Information and Advice Maturity Assessment (IAMA) seldom heard groups toolkit". This procurement, classified under health and social work services, is based in the UK and specifically addresses the needs of seldom heard groups, those with Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) requirements, and those at risk of digital exclusion. Interested parties must submit their tenders by 1st July 2025, following which the contract will commence on 7th July 2025 and conclude by 9th March 2026, with a possibility of extension. The procurement method is an open competition within the below-threshold value, encouraging diverse participation from qualified suppliers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses interested in developing tools and services aimed at increasing accessibility for underrepresented groups. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, benefiting from an emphasis on quality criteria, which accounts for 90% of the award decision. With a gross contract value of £18,000 and the possibility for contract renewal, businesses have the potential to expand their service offerings and establish a reputable presence in the public sector market. The open competition format ensures a transparent and fair process, encouraging innovative solutions to contribute positively to this important societal initiative.
