Details

This project will contribute to the LGA's Public Service Reform and Innovation Policy Committee Priority Goals for 2026/27 by helping make meaningful progress towards a devolution agreement that brings powers closer to councils and communities. It will do this by developing practical principles for collaboration between local and strategic authorities, helping Government deliver its devolution ambitions while maximising the outcomes for people and places. This project aims to help shape emerging quickly following on the back of the Rewiring the State Delivery Plan, setting out an approach that helps local and strategic authorities collaborate in delivering Government’s new ambition for places. The challenge is not eliminating overlaps in responsibility but creating effective ways of working across them. It is likely that the Delivery Plan will be published shortly before this project commences, and so a first step would be to review what is published, and how this project can add greatest value. We would like the project to progress on timeframes set out in this RFQ, whether or not the Delivery Plan is published before this project commences

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission. Always verify the details on the official source.

Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
