## Summary

The Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government (IDeA), wholly owned by the Local Government Association, is delivering local authority Public Health Peer Review and External Support, funded by the Department of Health and Social Care. This requirement is for a pool of peer review managers to support 20 public health peer reviews and pilots in the first year. Managers prepare reviews by engaging the client council, peer team and Public Health Improvement team; manage the review with support from a coordinator; brief the team before onsite activity; attend throughout the onsite review; produce a written report; and provide feedback to the programme lead. The work covers health and related social services across the United Kingdom, supporting councils participating in the public health improvement programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £6,500 excluding VAT and £7,800 including VAT. The appointed pool comprises Andrew Winfield Associates, Anne Brinkhoff, c&i associates, Claire Cairns Associates, Clayton Warnes Consulting, Cliff James Consulting, Collaborate Out Loud, Crainia, Fairy Dust Consulting, Jo Webster Coaching & Consultancy, Jon Goodwin, Julia Weldon Executive Leadership, Kate Freeman, Lisa Willcox Solutions, mtwenty international, Penny Hynds Consulting, REAP Consultancy Services, Resilience@4PW, Social Care Enterprises, Strategy For Change and UBA Nutrition.

This procurement demonstrates demand for independent public health improvement and local government consultancy delivered through a flexible pool of small and medium-sized suppliers. Credible competitors would need to manage complex peer reviews involving councils, public health specialists and review teams; coordinate preparation, communications and onsite delivery; brief multidisciplinary participants; produce clear written findings; and report to a programme lead. The requirement suits consultants with practical experience of public health, local authority improvement, peer challenge, programme management and stakeholder engagement, together with the capacity to undertake preparatory work, attend reviews in person and complete follow-up reporting. Suppliers able to operate across the United Kingdom and work collaboratively within a coordinator-led model would be well placed when comparable requirements return.
