Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) and its communities have a long track record of place-based approaches. The Council now wishes to highlight the potential for this way of working within a larger unitary council context, as part of a wider asset based preventative agenda. As a result, we are seeking to appoint a strategic partner to support the Council, local organisations and communities in a 12-month programme of work. It is intended that the programme will help us understand the way in which organisations operating, in Test Valley in future, will need to work to maximise the potential for a prevention first, relational place-based approach. In particular, we are interested in the culture that will be required within the new unitary authority to create the conditions to allow this to happen. We propose that we should use the Cabinet Office’s Test Learn and Grow principles to underpin the approach to the work, how to make it a reality and how it might be scaled up in the context of Neighbourhood Governance and Public Service Reform.

The GLA is delivering the Warm Homes: Local Grant Programme in partnership with 30 London boroughs. To strengthen delivery, the GLA is exploring running a pilot project to better understand how community organisations can support vulnerable residents throughout the retrofit process. The aim is to improve the resident experience and reduce dropout rates. Identification of eligible households and installation of measures will be managed by the GLA and its delivery partners. Community organisations would focus on resident‑facing support, from initial engagement through to installation. For example, this could include helping vulnerable residents understand their energy assessment, providing tailored advice on recommended measures, supporting form-filling, offering in‑home or remote guidance during installation, and ensuring residents feel informed and confident throughout the process. This preliminary engagement seeks to understand capacity, capability, delivery models, and potential challenges within the market. It may be undertaken in multiple stages following completion of the questionnaire stage. Insights will inform the future procurement strategy, including potential commissioning options. Approach To shape the design and delivery of the pilot project, we invite organisations to complete a short questionnaire. The purpose of this exercise is to gather market insights on: Potential service delivery models Capacity and readiness to deliver Opportunities and challenges within the supply chain Considerations for future procurement (Note: we are not seeking to duplicate existing services. Instead, we aim to fill gaps in provision. For example, where organisations currently offer telephone advice funded through other schemes but cannot provide in‑home energy advice or hands‑on resident support.) This exercise is for information‑gathering only. It does not constitute a commitment to procure, and participation will not preclude suppliers from future procurement opportunities.

The Authority is launching a tender to appoint a panel of Independent Experts who will act as a quality assurance mechanism to ensure the validity of Peer Review reports and ratings. The Authority intends to enter into three individual contracts. This initiative is not about recruiting additional Peer Reviewers. It is focused on appointing Independent Experts to support and oversee the Peer Review Scheme. The work expected under each contract is an average of 10 hours per month, however flexibility will be required from contract holders as work many fluctuate during the year, and some periods may be busier than others. The Peer Review scheme is the LAA’s primary method for assessing the quality of legal advice provided by legal aid providers. Under this scheme, experienced legal practitioners review a sample of case files to determine whether the advice given meets professional standards. The scheme plays a critical role in maintaining public confidence in the legal aid system and ensuring value for money. The Independent Experts are central to the integrity of the Peer Review process. Their responsibilities will include moderating the consistency of ratings, training and supporting Peer Reviewers, and providing guidance on disputes between Peer Reviewers. Their oversight ensures that Peer Review ratings are fair, proportionate, and consistent across the legal aid provider base. SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT The Peer Review Independent Experts will be responsible for undertaking the following duties, including but not limited to: • Training of new Peer Reviewers and delivery of annual consistency training to existing Peer Reviewers. • Dealing with Peer Review Validations to ensure quality and consistency within the Peer Review reports and ratings. • Assist with disputes between Peer Reviewers – the Independent Expert must guide and make suggestions so the Peer Reviewers can reach an appropriate conclusion. • Validate representations against Peer Review ratings. • Quality Management of Peer Reviewers and Peer Review system – The Independent Expert is responsible for moderating the consistency and training of Peer Reviewers. • Maintaining the independence of the scheme – The legal profession respects the Peer Review Process due to its independence from the LAA. Whilst the LAA contract with the Peer Reviewers, the methodology and running of the scheme is independent. • Collaborating with the LAA on Peer Review in new categories of law - There are two different sets of Peer Review Criteria: Civil and Crime. The categories of law that are Peer Reviewed currently: Crime, Family, Housing, Immigration & Asylum and Mental Health. The LAA may wish to introduce Peer Review in other categories of law in the future. • Process Development: We may also require the contractor to assist with the development and improvement of the Peer Review Scheme. It is likely that the LAA will need to commission new Peer Reviewers during the contract terms, which will require input from the contractor.
