## Summary

The Local Government Association has issued a tender titled "Local Government/VCSE infrastructure Good Practice Guide" in London within the services category. The procurement stage is open with a tender period ending on 31st October 2023. The contract period is scheduled from 13th November 2023 to 31st March 2024, with a contract value of £25,000. This opportunity is suitable for SMEs, aiming to improve relationships between councils and VCSE organizations.

This tender presents a chance for small or medium enterprises to engage with the Local Government Association to enhance local infrastructure partnerships.

The project aims to maximise the role of smaller VCSE organisations in service delivery and community engagement, creating opportunities for organic business growth and collaboration.

## Notice

In December 2022, the LGA published a report on the state of strategic relationships between councils and their local VCS. This was accompanied, in April 2023, by a practical toolkit on partnership working with VCS. These publications identified the key challenges and opportunities in the council/VCS relationship, including some of changed context and learning that arose from the experience of the pandemic and set out practical steps and good practice on how to improve those relationships. This project is a companion or extension piece to the previous publications, aimed at examining and improving those relationships, and ensuring councils are working as closely as possible with infrastructure organisations to maximise the role of smaller VCSE organisations in both service delivery and community engagement. 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.
