## Summary

The London Councils has recently completed a tender process for the "London Councils Survey of London School Leaders," aimed at gathering insights from school leaders regarding challenges in the education sector. The tender, classified under market research services (CPV code 79310000) and public-opinion polling services (CPV code 79320000), was conducted through an open procurement method. The contract, valued at £25,000, was initiated on November 7, 2016, with the tender period concluding on November 18, 2016. The project is set within London, England, and encompasses services related to children's education policy.

This contract provides an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in market research and public opinion analysis to expand their reach within the education sector. Companies, particularly those classified as SMEs or VCSEs, which offer expertise in surveying, data analysis, and educational consultancy, will find this tender advantageous. Suppliers capable of addressing the specific challenges faced by schools, such as funding issues and recruitment shortages, are well-positioned to compete for similar opportunities with local councils and educational institutions.

## Notice

London Councils is committed to fighting for more resources for London and getting the best possible deal for London's 33 councils. We lobby for local governance for London boroughs, promoting their leadership of local communities and services and argue for the tools necessary for them to do that job. We also act as a catalyst for effective sharing of practice, knowledge, information and services between boroughs. Our Children and Young People policy team co-ordinates policy work and represents the interests of boroughs on a pan-London basis relating to all aspects of children's services. The aim of this lobbying role is to improve outcomes for all children and young people in the capital. One of the team's projects for 2016/17 is based around the theme of ensuring fair funding for schools and education which reflects London's growing population and the boroughs' leadership role. London Councils is seeking to commission a survey of school leaders across London to gauge their views on current challenges facing the education system from budget cuts to recruitment shortages; as well as the potential impact of proposed wide ranging education reforms, such as the introduction of a National Formula Funding for schools and the plans to expand and create new grammar schools.
