## Summary

London Councils, a sub-central government public authority, is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) concerning HR and workforce metrics surveys and data benchmarking services. The aim is to enhance HR performance assessments and innovation among local authorities across the UK by providing an online platform for HR metrics data entry and analysis. Those interested in expressing interest in this procurement, scheduled for engagement by 14 August 2026, should access the relevant information and documents through the Proactis Plaza platform. This tender falls under the services category, with a focus on human resources management consultancy, software package development, and related services, and is targeting a contract period starting from 26 March 2027, with a potential end date of 29 March 2030.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in HR technology and consulting services, particularly those offering innovative solutions that can enhance HR data analysis and benchmarking capabilities for local authorities. Companies developing human resources software or offering consultancy services that help streamline HR processes and improve workforce management would be well-suited to participate. As the project supports strategic workforce planning and decision-making, it opens avenues for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to contribute significantly to improving public sector HR efficiencies. With the possibility of contract renewal, successful parties may enjoy a sustainable business relationship with public bodies like London Councils.

## Notice

London Councils own and manages a service contract for an online platform which collects and holds HR workforce metrics data to allow local government organisations to enter their own survey data and access a range of outputs. The aim is to enable participating local authorities to: * compare and assess their performance across a range of HR measures; * use data insights to help assess workforce capacity and delivery of services; * through benchmarking with other local authorities facilitate improvement and innovation The benchmarking of HR data enables evidence-based decision making on key issues. It empowers councils to assess performance and drive improvement. Councils can compare their performance, pay, reward and terms and conditions against a number of HR indicators including pay gap reporting. Councils can see where performance sits in relation to other councils of similar type (London Borough, County, Metropolitan, Unitary, District) and size including neighbouring borough, which is critical for strategic workforce planning and decision-making on people priorities including talent and succession planning and improving recruitment and retention challenges across public sector. This data can also lead to e the sharing of workforce policies and good practices that will improve and innovate public sector local authorities. The application provides results/benchmarking information, charts, pdf reports, scorecards, dashboards and Excel spreadsheet outputs that users can generate online.
