## Summary

The Local Government Association (LGA) is currently conducting a selective tender for the project titled "Building best practice and innovation in combined authority communications." This initiative falls under the research services category and is based in London, United Kingdom. The tender is in the planning stage, with proposals due by 17th January 2020. The contract period is set to commence on 22nd January 2020 and will run until 31st March 2020. The process follows a restricted procedure for the procurement method.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in research and communication strategies. Businesses that can demonstrate innovative approaches to capturing best practices in communications will be particularly well-suited to compete. The outcome from this project could facilitate larger visibility and collaboration within the local authority sector, potentially leading to further contracts and engagements in related fields.

## Notice

This commission will seek to understand and capture emerging best practice and innovation taking place within combined authorities' external and internal communications activities. This is likely to entail consultation and engagement with combined authorities and relevant external stakeholders at the bidder's suggestion to identify potential case studies and outline further opportunities to develop innovation in this area. It is envisaged that the key output from this piece of work will be an online resource highlighting good practice and innovation, backed by examples or evidence of effectiveness where available. The LGA will develop the online resource and populate with content to be produced by the provider. 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.
