## Summary

The Local Government Association is seeking tenders for the project titled "Driving Growth through Localism - quantifying the potential impact of fiscal devolution." This initiative aims to assess the economic benefits of decentralisation in the UK, particularly focusing on generating data for England and its nine regions. The contracting process is currently at the tender stage, with proposals due by 23 August 2019. The contract, valued between £10,000 and £25,000, will commence on 9 September 2019 and conclude on 29 November 2019. Research services are categorized under this procurement, located in London, United Kingdom, and the method of procurement is Open Procedure.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small or medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in research services, economic analysis, and consultancy. Businesses with experience in producing robust and transparent assessments will find this opportunity particularly fitting, given the project's complexity and its focus on producing credible economic metrics. Competing firms can leverage this contract to establish themselves within the public sector framework while contributing to impactful local governance initiatives.

## Notice

LGA wishes to commission a review of the potential benefit to the UK economy that moving from the current centralised system to the OECD average for decentralisation would generate. In addition to a UK figure, in GDP percentage terms as well as what that converts to in pounds given current GDP levels, LGA wishes to investigate the possibility of generating figures for England and for each of the nine English regions. We understand that this is a complex piece of work and any analysis will need to be robust and transparent with a clear and defined methodology that will stand up to scrutiny and interrogation. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
