The project aims to explore existing standards regimes and sanctions for councillors and politicians exhibiting poor conduct. The contract falls under the CPV codes for research and development services. The tender period ends on November 30, 2022, with the contract period running from December 5, 2022, to January 20, 2023. This opportunity is particularly suitable for small or medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. This tender presents a chance for businesses in research and development services, as well as social research services, to engage with the Local Government Association. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to apply based on specified procurement criteria. The competitive procurement method offers open access for interested entities. The project location includes British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. ## Notice The Local Government Association (LGA) believes the Government is looking at introducing increased sanctions of councillors who breach their code of conduct. The LGA would like to understand better the range of standards regimes and sanctions for councillors and other politicians who exhibit poor behaviour and conduct when in office. The LGA is therefore commissioning some desktop research on the various standards regimes that exist to handle the behaviour and conduct of elected politicians. The project should focus on the structure of the standards regime, the decision-making process, including who has decision-making power, the checks and balances present in the specific system and the sanctions available for poor behaviour and conduct. The aim of the project is to produce a document setting out the various standards regimes, sanctions and some analysis of the pros and cons of each system. The document will be an internal document for use to develop future LGA policy and is not designed for publication. 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/316710b0-2b87-42e1-853c-fc80d1fac560 | | 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 | 8 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 30 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Dec 2022 - 20 Jan 2023 | | 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 - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 8 Nov 2022 at 14:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/316710b0-2b87-42e1-853c-fc80d1fac560 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/316710b0-2b87-42e1-853c-fc80d1fac560 8th November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Summary-of-local-government-standards-regimes-and-possible-sanctions/2P94Y22Q76 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
