Summary of the contracting process

The Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government (IDeA), wholly owned by the Local Government Association, is procuring public health peer review manager services for councils across the United Kingdom. The work supports a programme of local authority Public Health Peer Reviews and external support, funded by the Department of Health and Social Care. The supplier pool will provide managers for 20 peer reviews and pilots in the programme’s first year. Responsibilities include preparing each review, engaging with the council and peer team, liaising with the Public Health Improvement team, managing the review with coordinator support, briefing the team before onsite activity, attending throughout the onsite review, producing a written report and reporting back to the Programme Lead. This is a social work and health-related service.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 27 July 2026 at 16:00 UTC, and offers were due by 18 August 2026 at 14:00 UTC. Electronic submission was allowed. The single lot has an estimated value of £6,500 excluding VAT and £7,800 including VAT. The contract period is 20 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a possible maximum extension to 30 April 2027. Renewal or variation may be used to deliver additional peer reviews and is not restricted by geographical location. Evaluation is weighted 90% quality and 10% price. Participation is reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises based in the United Kingdom.

This opportunity suits organisations and individuals with practical experience of public health improvement, local government or council-facing peer review. Suppliers need to be able to prepare and coordinate structured reviews, work confidently with councils, peer teams and public health professionals, manage onsite review activity, brief multi-disciplinary participants, produce clear written reports and communicate findings to programme leads. The work requires dependable coordination and the capacity to attend each review for its full onsite period, alongside the preparatory and follow-up stages. It is particularly relevant to UK-based SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises that can provide experienced peer review managers and operate across council locations. Organisations able to build a pool of suitable managers may be well placed to support multiple reviews and pilots.
