## Summary

The Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government (IDeA) is initiating a procurement process titled "Support for local authority performance management – panels, action learning sets and case studies," which falls under the industry category of research consultancy services. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with a tender period scheduled to end on 2nd June 2026. This open competition is designed for the provision of services in London, UK, and seeks to engage with small groups to develop performance management solutions. The project is funded with a gross amount value of £33,833.33, and the contract is set to commence on 15th June 2026, concluding by 31st March 2027, with potential extensions available for subsequent years.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services focusing on performance management and learning. It is particularly well-suited for SMEs and VCSEs, offering avenues for business growth through the delivery of action learning sets and case studies. Engaging in this procurement process allows businesses to collaborate closely with local government performance officers, enabling them to share expertise, address challenges, and implement practical solutions. The open procurement method and the emphasis on both price and quality criteria invite a competitive environment for specialists desirous of contributing to governmental performance efficiencies.

## Notice

As part of the performance management workstream we are looking to run a series of virtual performance management panels for small groups of officers, as well as action learning sets (or similar) to bring together performance management officers to discuss the challenges they face and share learning. In addition to this, we are looking to produce two case studies from attendees of these sessions.
