The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 12th November 2021. The events aim to equip attendees with practical strategies and tools for safe working, addressing topics such as risk assessment, technology use, and strategies for dealing with harassment and threats. The contract is set to commence on 17th November 2021 and will run until 31st March 2022. This opportunity falls under the services category, specifically classified as research and development services and related consultancy services, with an open procurement method applied. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for consultancy firms with expertise in personal safety and risk management, particularly those familiar with the context of local government and councillor interactions. Companies that can demonstrate an understanding of unique safety challenges faced by local councillors, as opposed to Members of Parliament, will be well-suited to compete. This initiative not only provides an opportunity to develop a robust consultancy relationship with the LGA but also to enhance the safety protocols within local government operations, potentially leading to further engagements in the public sector. ## Notice The LGA is seeking to commission a consultant (either an individual or an organisation) to deliver three events giving councillors basic tools around personal safety. The events will be open to councillors across England and Wales. The objectives of the events are to give councillors the basic tools to improve their personal safety and equip attendees with practical and sensible strategies for safe working. Content should include, but not limited to, risk assessment, tips and tricks to safe working, use of technology and cyber, harassment and physical threat (including knife attacks if possible). The events should be designed for a large audience and presented as a webinar to include a presentation from the contractors and time for questions from the audience. The contractors must have experience of personal safety in the context of local democracy and be able to demonstrate their understanding of how this differs from the context in which MPs operate, and be able to offer practical solutions to support councillors in their interactions with residents safely. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8c61429-5c13-44a5-9861-bc909884d1f1 | | 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 | 27 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 12 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Nov 2021 - 31 Mar 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 - 27 Oct 2021 at 10:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8c61429-5c13-44a5-9861-bc909884d1f1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8c61429-5c13-44a5-9861-bc909884d1f1 27th October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Personal-safety-events-for-councillors/H65899FP56 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
