In plain English

The Local Government Association's improvement arm (IDeA) wants a consultant to scope, map and review how its Partners in Care and Health continuous improvement programme works, to shape the programme for 2027-28 and 2028-29. The work is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care and is worth £125,000, with the programme helping councils in England improve adult social care and public health.

What the buyer wants

• Scope, map and review the approaches used in the key elements of the Partners in Care and Health continuous improvement programme, including its leadership, working with people and providing support strands. • Plan and scope the continuous improvement elements so the findings inform the programme in 2027-28 and 2028-29. Lot 1 covers leadership, governance and assurance, including support for portfolio leads and scrutiny chairs, the response to CQC assurance, and data and intelligence. • Familiarise yourself with the special conditions in the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, and acknowledge in your bid that the project is part of funded activities under a grant agreement between IDeA and DHSC.

Requirements

Named in the buyer's notice:

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no specific financial, experience or certification thresholds, but the contract is conditional on IDeA keeping its DHSC grant agreement in place, IDeA can end or vary it on written notice, and bidders must review the special conditions before submitting, so smaller firms should check those terms carefully before bidding.

Always check the tender documents.
