UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Councils commissioned a public engagement partner to design and deliver a programme of deliberative engagement exercises with Londoners, using findings from the Talk London survey. The service covers programme design, including tasks, phases and milestones; accessible, balanced and evidence-based discussion materials; recruitment, support and retention of a diverse and inclusive participant group; and facilitation of deliberative sessions online and/or in person. The appointed partner must analyse and synthesise participant outputs, linking them clearly to London’s PSR principles, and produce high-quality reports tailored to elected members, council officers and partners. This is a public engagement and research service delivered for London Councils, with activity involving Londoners across London.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to NEIGHBOURLY LAB. It used a below-threshold limited competition and comprised one lot. The award is active, with an award date of 19 August 2026. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 November 2026, with a maximum extent date of 26 February 2027. Its value is £29,906 excluding VAT, or £35,887 including VAT. The contract is active and renewal is possible by mutual agreement between the parties. The awarded service is classified as research services. The procurement was evaluated under the requirements for the public engagement programme described above.

This award demonstrates demand from London Councils for specialist public engagement and applied research capability, rather than a standard communications or consultation service. A credible future competitor would need experience designing structured deliberative programmes, managing multiple phases and milestones, and producing accessible, balanced and evidence-based materials. It would also need the capability to recruit and retain a diverse participant group, support inclusive participation, and facilitate high-quality sessions both online and in person. Strong analysis and synthesis skills are important, including the ability to connect engagement findings to London’s PSR principles. Suppliers should also be able to turn complex outputs into clear reports for elected members, officers and partner organisations, while operating at London-wide scale.
