The procurement is at the tender stage with a submission deadline of 14th October 2022. The contract period is expected to start on 17th October 2022 and end on 20th October 2022. The procurement falls under the category of Administration, defence and social security services and is open to economic operators of all sizes. This tender opportunity offers SMEs and other businesses a chance to contribute to addressing cohesion and extremism challenges in local government by providing expert insights. Businesses in the services industry and with expertise in social cohesion and extremism issues are well-suited to compete for this contract. The geographical coverage for delivery includes British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. ## Notice The LGA's work includes supporting the Special Interest Group on Countering Extremism (SIGCE); a sector-led local authority network funded by the LGA, which works to support councils and partner agencies to respond to extremism and cohesion challenges at a local level, bringing local authorities and partners together across England and Wales to share their learning and experiences, explore common challenges, collaborate, and identify new and emerging issues. One emerging issue for local authorities is the publication of data from the 2021 Census in autumn/winter 2022-2023. This will include specific data on ethnic and religious diversity and change over time. It is anticipated that the data release could be used by some groups to stoke anti-immigration narratives, which present cohesion and extremism concerns for local government. To help raise awareness amongst local authorities of the risks associated with this issue, and consider how the sector can best prepare, the SIGCE is hosting a roundtable for local government practitioners in October 2022. We are seeking an expert input at the roundtable which explores the cohesion and extremism related issues around the data release, and what measures councils might take to counter divisive narratives. 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0014ebb4-10e1-41ad-a3c7-048f62a06c9f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 14 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Oct 2022 - 20 Oct 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75000000 - Administration, defence and social security services ## Release History - 11 Oct 2022 at 16:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0014ebb4-10e1-41ad-a3c7-048f62a06c9f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0014ebb4-10e1-41ad-a3c7-048f62a06c9f 11th October 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Presentation-on-cohesion-risks-from-Census-2021-data-release/32V5874VAA Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
