## Summary

The Local Government Association (LGA), a public authority representing councils across the UK, is conducting a tender process under the title "Local democracy resources pack for councillors visiting education settings". This procurement, classified under research and development services and related consultancy, aims to create resources that enhance democratic understanding among school-age children. The process is currently at the tender stage, with a deadline for tender submissions set for 21st January 2026. The project, which falls under the services category, will be active from January 26th to March 30th, 2026, with potential for extension following discussions. A light touch procurement regime is in place, and submissions are accepted via open competition as detailed in the LGA's system.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in research and development services, particularly those specialising in educational consultancy or resources. Given the focus on developing a training pack for councillors, firms with expertise in curriculum design or educational outreach could greatly benefit. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) situated within the UK better poised for involvement, are especially encouraged to participate due to the reserved participation provisions outlined in the requirements. This open competition presents a valuable opportunity to collaborate with a prominent public authority and extend services across the operational areas of the UK's educational councils.

## Notice

The LGA is a national membership body for local authorities. Our core membership is made up of English and Welsh councils through the Welsh LGA. However, it should be noted that this is a joint project across all four UK Nations through the Northern Ireland LGA, Convention for Scottish Local Authority and Welsh LGA. The lead commissioning and contracting organisation is the LGA. The four associations recently recommitted to working together on Civility in public life, including upholding debate and free speech, including criticism, as the cornerstone of a healthy democracy and tackling abuse and intimidation aimed at all in public life. This project will deliver resources to support councillors to make school visits, supporting our aims of improving democratic understanding in school-age children. This project aims to develop a resource pack for councillors from all four nations going into education settings to explain their role and the role of the council.
