## Summary

The Local Government Association (LGA) is seeking to commission work under the tender titled "Local Government leading the integration of digital and data solutions to deliver the 10-Year Plan." Focusing on the design and execution of research and development services, this procurement falls within the services category and is based in London, UK. The tender process is in the active stage, with the procurement method identified as open competition and below threshold. Key deadlines include the end of the tender submission period on 9th March 2026, and the end of the enquiry period on 6th March 2026. The contract period is scheduled to start on 11th March 2026 and conclude on 29th April 2026. The procurement seeks a skilled professional to guide a sprint project within a 4-6 week timeframe, aimed at mapping evidence and synthesising insights into digital technology’s role in public health and social care.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in digital technology consultancy, particularly those involved in experimental development services. With its emphasis on research and development and consultancy services, it is optimally suited for small and medium-sized enterprises that can offer innovative solutions and have previous experience in project work of a similar nature. The contract represents a chance to contribute to the strategic positioning of local government within national health and social care frameworks, thereby potentially influencing systemic issues like digital inclusion and interoperability. Businesses with a strong track record in synthesising complex ideas and managing strategic plans would benefit greatly by competing for this tender, offering them a path to expand their influence in the public sector in conjunction with local government entities.

## Notice

This commissioned work will deliver a focused 4-6-week 'groundwork sprint' to produce an internal document resource that will support very senior strategists and planners in government departments to incorporate and embrace the influence local government can bring to achieving the 3 left-shifts in the 10-year Health Plan via investment in digital technology. Expertise is located in the LGA's Policy Team, Digital & Data function, and Partners in Care and Health (Social Care) as well as Public Health specialists. Drawing on the expertise of all of these teams, the aim is to clarify what the LGA needs to take into early engagement with the incoming DHSC Director General for Digital Technology and others. Its purpose is to build the foundations for the LGA's strategic positioning, ensuring we are evidence ready, aligned across partners, and equipped with a strong, coherent narrative before approaching DHSC. The sprint will map existing evidence, identify critical gaps, and synthesise what the LGA and partners already know about local government's role in shaping health, social care and community wellbeing outcomes. It will consolidate sector insight to create a validated collective local government voice informed by ADASS, Socitm, LOTI, Solace, DSCAG, iNetwork and others. It will assess where local government, and the LGA specifically, is currently positioned in DHSC's thinking, particularly in the context of the 10-year plan framing and analyse systemic issues such as digital inclusion and connectivity, interoperability and legacy system challenges, data sharing blind spots, digital ethics, and opportunities such as use of technology to aid or replace care and empower people who draw on care and support and their carers, quality and safety improvements and support for much greater productivity and demand management. The LGA is looking for an intelligent writer and convenor, a synthesiser of ideas and a driver for a 4-6 week sprint. The person will have a track record of similar project work and demonstrable ability and capacity to meet deadlines.
