Opportunity overview

The LGA will engage contractors selected under this brief to support those councils identified or self-identified as being in need of specialist support. These may include, for example, councils that have identified particular financial challenges or risks that they need to manage or overcome, or that may lack financial strategic or technical capacity. There is a need to work with these councils to design strategic financial advice and support to those councils and, in many cases, to provide that support. This work requires specialist financial experience and skills, and the credibility to work with senior stakeholders within local authorities.
