## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care initiated a tender process that has now been completed, resulting in the award of a contract to the Improvement and Development Agency For Local Government. The contract titled "DHSC: ASC: LGA Governance & Infrastructure – 22/23 Winter Preparedness" falls under the business and management consultancy services category. It aims to deliver infrastructure support to local authorities and partners for enhancing adult social care through a joint Programme Management Office, Director post, and Care and Health Improvement Advisors. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This contract award presents an opportunity for businesses in the consultancy services sector, especially those experienced in supporting local authorities and social care improvement. Interested parties should be able to offer expertise in Programme Management, Directorship, and Health Improvement Advisory services. The Department of Health and Social Care, as the buying organisation, selected this single tender action route based on the absence of competition for the required technical expertise within the specified parameters and timescale.

## Notice

A contract to the LGA to deliver infrastructure to support local authorities and their partners to improve adult social care in the form of participation in a joint Programme Management Office, Director post and Care and Health Improvement Advisors.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

A contract to the LGA to deliver infrastructure to support local authorities and their partners to improve adult social care in the form of participation in a joint Programme Management Office, Director post and Care and Health Improvement Advisors.

### Procurement Information

The proposed procurement route accounts for the fact that neither the Department nor any other organisation have the levers or capacity to engage with local authorities in such a systematic way ADASS and LGA with a legitimate and credible voice of authority on operational improvement to deliver the two outcomes above. We have engaged with Commercial & Legal colleagues to approve the grounds for single tender action under the PCR Reg.32(2)(b) 'competition is absent for technical reasons' because there are no other organisations that can conceivably offer the same expertise and service as LGA and ADASS within the required parameters and timescale.
