Summary of the contracting process

The Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government (IDeA), working with the Local Government Association, is commissioning a module for a data-sharing playbook for councils. The module will cover how to design, establish, manage and maintain multi-agency data sharing in children’s social care across the public sector. It is intended to help councils navigate complex data-sharing arrangements. This is research and development consultancy work. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The procurement is divided into one lot. The enquiry deadline was 2 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC, and the submission deadline was 9 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an extension at the purchaser’s discretion if needed to complete delivery. The maximum estimated value is £50,000 including VAT. Evaluation assigns 80% to quality and 20% to price.

This work is most relevant to consultancies and specialists with practical knowledge of data sharing across public services, particularly in children’s social care. Suppliers should be able to develop clear guidance for councils on designing, setting up, managing and maintaining multi-agency sharing arrangements, including ways to navigate complex situations. Experience translating technical, operational or governance challenges into a usable playbook module would be relevant to the stated purpose. The requirement is for one defined module within a wider playbook of five to seven modules, rather than delivery of the full playbook.
