To refresh and further evolve the LGA DDAT capabilities framework to keep it up to date and relevant, and to support operationalisation of the framework through the LGA DDAT workforce planning offer to councils. The LGA requires support to evolve its current DDaT skills framework to a deeper level, building on the solid foundations to date, to ensure that it is more useful and usable to a wider audience of local government practitioners, focused on DDAT professionals or people looking to move into a DDAT role. This work needs to be completed by April 2026 to support an offer from the LGA workforce team to councils for DDAT workforce planning. The LGA’s future vision for the DDaT skills framework is to create a similar framework to the one created by GDS for DDaT roles in central government and for this to be used as a standard skills reference tool for all councils in England, enabling greater professionalisation of DDaT capabilities within councils to support improved outcomes to local communities. This would be supported by a tool (ideally online), enabling users to self-assess against the framework and be recommended areas for further development and recommend relevant course content linking to the DSIT Digital and Data Hub. The development of this tool is out of scope for this contract and will be explored as a future phase.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Research and development services and related consultancy services (73000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 73 | 1,805 | 3 median · 39.1 average (567 of 1,805 with a bid count) | 2.8 average (642 of 1,805 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 11 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 772 | 3 median · 74.8 average (243 of 772 with a bid count) | 3.7 average (283 of 772 with named award suppliers) | Not published |

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
