This initiative falls under the 'Research and development services and related consultancy services' industry category and is based in London, United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently at the active tender stage, with an end date for submissions set for 7th January 2022. The tender offers a budget ranging from £10,000 to £25,000, reflecting the importance of developing effective communication and debating skills for community leadership. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in training and consultancy services, particularly those capable of creating engaging educational resources. Companies that provide professional development solutions or have experience in civic training could strongly benefit from this contract. The ability to deliver innovative training materials, such as templates and multimedia resources, will be key to fulfilling the requirements outlined in the tender and contribute to business growth within the public sector training space. ## Notice Taking part in constructive debate is an important part of the role of a local councillor. Debating is a core skill for effective community leadership and should be considered as part of comprehensive training or induction package for councillors. To help councils support their councillors to develop this core skill the LGA is commissioning a set of resources to help this training be delivered locally. We require a set of resources for use to facilitate training for councillors on strong debating skills. This will help to foster a positive culture of debating and discussion which will support councillors to use constructive challenge to deliver positive outcomes for residents. This is not a "train the trainer" package; rather, the resources will enable staff of the councils choosing (this could be officers, external trainers or councillors themselves) to deliver training directly to councillors. *Resources should enable trainers to facilitate a training session of no more than ninety minutes to councillors and must include clear session plans and detailed guidance notes to trainers on how to deliver the training session. *Resources may also include resources for councillors to work through in their own time. *The resources can include professional, accessible and engaging template PowerPoint presentations, video(s), supporting workbooks and/or exercises - providers are welcome to propose the format that they believe will be most effective *The resources must clearly recognise and address the political context in which councillors and officers are working. *Resources should consider how councillors can feed into training sessions to ensure they meet councillors' needs. *Bids should include recommendations on how to measure impact of the training at a local level. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/805d0a86-61f3-48e6-8be2-1d097684149d | | 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 | 13 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Jan 2022 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | 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 - 13 Dec 2021 at 13:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/805d0a86-61f3-48e6-8be2-1d097684149d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/805d0a86-61f3-48e6-8be2-1d097684149d 13th December 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Debating-Skills-for-Councillors/592QN75G6F Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
