UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Local Government Association is commissioning research and consultancy services to develop a whole-system vision for neighbourhood health and wellbeing. The work will be carried out with the LGA, councils and partners, taking a local government and community perspective. It should complement the Government’s Neighbourhood Health Framework by explaining how councils’ responsibilities and ambitions can support integrated neighbourhood health. The vision is intended to inform national policy and help councils and partners shape local practice. It should articulate local government priorities and ambitions, including the contribution of care, prevention, wellbeing and support services alongside NHS provision. The work covers the United Kingdom and is classified as research and development and related consultancy services (CPV 73000000).

The procurement has reached tender: the LGA invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically, with submissions due by 14 August 2026 at 16:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 22 August 2026 to 27 November 2026. The estimated value is £24,000 excluding VAT, or £30,000 including VAT. There is one lot covering the complete requirement. The contract will be evaluated using the criteria set out in the request for quotation document. The opportunity is below the relevant threshold and is for services. The procurement is being run under the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023.

This opportunity suits research, policy and consultancy suppliers able to work collaboratively with local authorities, community organisations and other partners. Strong candidates will understand neighbourhood health and wellbeing, integrated services and the relationship between council-led provision and NHS services. The work requires the ability to engage councils and local partners, gather and interpret their perspectives, and turn them into a coherent, credible whole-system vision. Suppliers should be able to produce clear policy and practice recommendations for a national audience while reflecting residents’ and councils’ experience. The requirement is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies, think tanks and mission-led organisations with demonstrable related experience.

Notice Information

Notice Title

A local government vision for neighbourhood health and wellbeing

Notice Description

We would like you to work with the LGA, councils and partners to set out a whole-system vision for neighbourhood health from a local government and community perspective. This should strengthen and complement the Government's recently published 'Neighbourhood health framework' and set out clearly where local government's role and ambitions can build on that. This will inform national policy and support councils and partners to lead and shape local practice. The Government published its national 'Neighbourhood Health Framework' (NHF) in March 2026. The Framework sets out an ambition to ".... end people being passed from pillar to post in a fragmented and, at times, chaotic system, and make local health services meaningfully accountable to local residents and service users...". The Framework set outs that this will be done through the development and delivery of locally-owned neighbourhood health plans, multidisciplinary neighbourhood teams and neighbourhood health centres. Regular references are made throughout the framework to the need to integrate a wide range of local services that support health and wellbeing. However, the practical proposals focus primarily on the National Health Service (NHS) elements of delivery; the vital care, prevention, wellbeing and support services that are provided and commissioned by councils, and which wrap around and underpin clinical services, are less clearly articulated at this stage. The LGA therefore wants to collaborate with councils and local partners to flesh-out and complement the government's framework with a vision from a local government perspective, which supports shared progress towards the integrated approach that government, delivery partners and communities both want and deserve. The final product should set out local government's priorities and ambitions and provide a clear and credible voice on what neighbourhood working at its best looks and feels like from a council and resident perspective.
