## Summary

The Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government (IDeA), based in London, has initiated a tender process titled "LGA Sustainability Masterclasses and Strategic Briefings" under the industry category of education and training services. The procurement aims to support the Local Government Association's sustainability and leadership improvement programmes through services valued at £25,000. The tender is currently in the active stage with an open procurement method below the specified threshold. Key deadlines include the closure of the enquiry period on 22nd July 2026, and the tender submission deadline is set for 26th August 2026, with services scheduled to commence on 11th September 2026. The location for the service delivery is across the United Kingdom, emphasising sustainability themes in local government capabilities.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those with expertise in sustainability and leadership development. It is ideally suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can deliver bespoke training and strategic briefing services. The contract offers scope for additional growth through a potential one-year extension contingent upon funding and demand. Engaging in this project can thus provide exposure to the local government sector and contribute towards meaningful community outcomes, positioning businesses to expand their offerings in the public procurement landscape.

## Notice

This procurement forms part of the LGA's sector-led improvement offer, specifically its sustainability, political and organisational leadership development programmes. These programmes are designed to ensure councillors and senior officers are confident, capable and well-equipped to respond to emerging challenges and deliver meaningful outcomes for their communities. The LGA is therefore seeking a supplier to support LGA colleagues to deliver: * Two cohorts of a two-day Sustainability Masterclass programme for councillors focused on sustainability, including carbon literacy accreditation; and * Two cohorts of a two-day Sustainability Masterclass programme for senior council officers, also including carbon literacy accreditation. In addition, the LGA is seeking a supplier to design and deliver: * Two Strategic Briefings on two topics which are of particular use to the local government sector. And design, create, and pilot the delivery of one additional local government capability training session on a sustainability topic, e.g., adaptation. This will form part of a broader package of sustainability support available to councils.
