## Summary

The procurement process for the Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government (IDeA) involved the development of Situational Judgement Test (SJT) questions for its graduate programmes. This completed contract focuses on services within the recruitment assessment centre industry category and took place in London, United Kingdom. The procurement process followed a below threshold method with an award notice date of 17 June 2026. The contract, awarded on 10 June 2026, began on 18 June 2026, with an initial term of one year, extendable by another year pending a review and budgetary approval. The IDeA served as the buying organisation, highlighting its role in enhancing local government recruitment processes.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in psychological assessment services, particularly those specialising in recruitment evaluation tools, such as situational judgement tests. Organisations similar to WORK PSYCHOLOGY LIMITED, a supplier involved in this procurement, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. SMEs, with expertise in designing assessment content that aligns with complex competency frameworks and in conducting comprehensive pilot analysis, would be particularly advantaged. The contract's potential extension underscores the scope for sustained collaboration with the IDeA, reinforcing opportunities for on-going business growth in developing innovative educational and assessment solutions.

## Notice

As part of the LGA's three graduate programmes, Impact: The Local Government Graduate Programme, Impact: Finance and Pathways to Planning, the supplier will design, develop, pilot and refine Situational Judgement Test (SJT) content, for use at the initial sift stage of our graduate recruitment programmes. The successful supplier will develop a bank of SJT questions and responses aligned to each programme's competency framework (see Appendix 11). The bank of questions must cover each programmes competencies equally, grounded in realistic role demands and use a format that minimises unnecessary ambiguity and cognitive load. This will include initial design, piloting with an appropriate sample group, analysis of outcomes and refinement of the SJT content as required, with the explicit aim of ensuring the assessment is robust, accessible and minimises adverse impact.
