In plain English
The Local Government Association wants a research project to explore how central government can help areas without Strategic Authorities (regional bodies that run devolved powers) start benefiting from devolution before those bodies are fully set up. The output is a set of evidence-based recommendations for Government to use when implementing the Rewiring the State reforms and related devolution changes.
What the buyer wants
• Research and analysis on how places without Strategic Authorities can begin benefiting from devolution before those authorities are fully operational • Evidence-based recommendations for Government to incorporate into the implementation of Rewiring the State and related devolution reforms • Work that contributes to the LGA's Public Service Reform and Innovation Policy Committee Priority Goals for 2026/27, helping make progress towards a devolution agreement that brings powers closer to councils and communities
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualifications, certifications or past experience, but the work is policy research on English devolution, so a small business without a track record in evidence-based public policy research and local government devolution would most likely be ruled out.
Always check the tender documents.
