The tender period concludes on 20th July 2022, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 25th July 2022, lasting until 31st March 2023. The main delivery location for this project is London, UK, with a tender value of £25,000 and a minimum value of £10,000. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for consultancy firms or businesses with expertise in extremism, community resilience, and local government processes. Companies that specialise in providing strategic support, training, or resources to local authorities, especially in areas related to extremism and community solidarity, will find this tender aligns well with their capabilities. Furthermore, businesses that can demonstrate a strong understanding of the challenges faced by councils in England and Wales will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice The LGA's resilience, safety and regulation team has developed a programme of support for councils around a range of issues, including tackling extremism, preventing people from being drawn into radicalisation, and developing cohesive and resilient communities. These can be sensitive areas of work, and present a range of evolving challenges for local government. The LGA continues to help councils to understand and respond to these challenges, through deepening understanding of current and evolving challenges, activists and their tactics; developing and sharing good practice in strategic and operational delivery at a local level; and facilitating learning and mutual support across local authorities (and wider partners). The LGA's work includes partnering with the Special Interest Group on Countering Extremism (SIGCE); a sector-led local authority network co-chaired by Leeds and Luton councils and funded by the LGA. The SIGCE has been working to support councils and partner agencies since 2018 to respond to extremism issues at a local level, providing a nimble offer to the many evolving challenges from extremism that have emerged over recent years. The network brings local authorities and partners together across England and Wales, to share their learning and experiences, explore common challenges, collaborate, and support each other in their work. The SIGCE's remit encompasses all forms of extremism and intolerance relevant to councils and their communities, and is shaped by the issues that councils say matter most. Its work to date has included delivering a number of seminars for local authorities on current and emerging extremism issues; establishing regional forums to facilitate peer-to-peer elected member engagement; establishing small task-based action learning groups for councils to work collaboratively on specific shared challenges; and facilitating an online Knowledge Hub platform for officers from councils and partner agencies to exchange resources and ideas. The LGA is seeking a Lead Facilitator to help develop and deliver the SIGCE's work programme for 2022-2023. Working closely with LGA officers and drawing on the expertise and experience of the SIGCE network, the supplier will act as a Lead Facilitator for the SIGCE. They will help to develop and support the day-to-day work of the SIGCE and the delivery of its core objective to support councils to respond and build resilience to the challenges of extremism. The supplier will require expert knowledge of extremism in England and Wales, the challenges it poses and local authorities' role in addressing them. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c727f36-2d84-48b1-aa2a-cc7d09f4c17e | | 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 | 1 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jul 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Jul 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | 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 - 1 Jul 2022 at 14:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c727f36-2d84-48b1-aa2a-cc7d09f4c17e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c727f36-2d84-48b1-aa2a-cc7d09f4c17e 1st July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-SIGCE-Facilitator-(22-23)/3J4J22832Z Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
