This procurement falls within the services sector, specifically under research and development services and related consultancy services. The tender is currently active, with a submission deadline set for 12th August 2022. The successful bidder will be required to deliver case studies across London, with the contract period commencing on 15th August 2022 and concluding on 30th September 2022. This opportunity was published on 29th July 2022 under an open procurement method. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in consultancy, research, and public sector engagement, especially those with experience in socio-economic studies or community support programmes. Companies that have expertise in developing case studies, community impact analysis, and strategic frameworks tailored to address health and financial inequalities would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging effectively with local councils and demonstrating a solid understanding of the ongoing cost of living challenges will be paramount for bidders looking to contribute to this important initiative. ## Notice The LGA would like to build an evidence base of what councils are doing to support people through the cost of living crisis. The web-based resource will highlight councils taking a strategic whole systems approach to supporting residents with the rising cost of living, both with immediate hardship support, and on wider preventative measures that build longer term resilience. We would, where possible, like to include information on the evidence base councils have used to drive their approach, and the outcomes they have achieved or hope to achieve. The resource will highlight positive examples and promote information sharing and ideas generation. It will be hosted on the LGA website, alongside other examples of local and effective practice, and within other relevant publications. The report will need to: *Each case study should be 500 - 800 words each in length. *16-18 case studies highlighting councils' strategic actions to address the rising cost of living crisis and inequalities in their areas. *We would like case studies to cover a range of service and themes, to capture the broad and inter-connected range of support that councils and their partners are providing. Key areas include health, debt, financial inclusion and income maximisation, food insecurity, energy, housing, sustainability, partnerships with the voluntary sector, ways of identifying and supporting those in need. *All case studies should demonstrate how the themes identified tie into the council's wider strategic approach to the rising cost of living and addressing inequalities. *The above are suggestions and are to be finalised with the successful bidder. * Include a foreword from an elected LGA member (tbc). *We would also like you to provide a short, contextual introduction that can frame the case studies within the resource. *The publication should give the wider context of health and socioeconomic inequalities in England, both before and during the crisis. *The publication must comply with the LGA Style Guide, to be provided on award of contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8bf0a54-2b04-483b-8896-d4f7530e775a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 12 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Aug 2022 - 30 Sep 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3HZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 29 Jul 2022 at 10:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8bf0a54-2b04-483b-8896-d4f7530e775a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8bf0a54-2b04-483b-8896-d4f7530e775a 29th July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Cost-of-Living/5UB95Y936H Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
