## Summary

The Local Government Association (LGA), based in London, UK, is inviting bids for the development of a virtual assessment centre platform to support their three graduate programmes: the Impact: The Local Government Graduate Programme, Impact: Finance, and Pathways to Planning. This procurement falls within the services category, specifically aimed at assessment centre services for recruitment. The tender process is in the 'active' stage under an open procurement method and falls below the threshold for open competition. Interested parties must prepare for key dates, including the enquiry period ending on 19 September 2025, and submission deadline on 26 September 2025. The contract is set to commence on 27 October 2025, lasting until 27 October 2027, with a potential one-year extension dependent on funding confirmation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in virtual assessment platforms, particularly those focused on recruitment and training services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this tender particularly beneficial due to its suitability criteria. The competitive advantage will likely align with companies skilled in delivering high-quality digital solutions capable of supporting complex organisational needs in recruitment. The financial evaluation will weigh heavily on quality (70%) over price (30%), which presents an opportunity for expert service deliverers to emphasise the value and innovation in their solutions.
