What is being bought

Published requirement description

To complement the individual evidence of council activity including their views on what they need to be able to more effectively address the issue, the supplier should produce an executive summary paper with a clear overarching narrative bringing together common themes identified in the individual evidence which should be turned into a set of policy asks.

This commissioned piece will demonstrate what councils do with their existing duties and how they aim to support the broader age group, coupled with views on what changes are needed nationally. This will enable the LGA to use the evidence to share practice across the sector and the executive summary will help us advocate for councils in any new system which the Government is expected to develop as a result of the upcoming Milburn youth and work review solutions recommendations.
