Accelerating Devolution Benefits for Councils and Communities

This project supports the Local Government Association's Public Service Reform and Innovation Policy Committee goals by advancing devolution agreements that transfer powers to councils and communities. It will investigate how Government can enable areas without Strategic Authorities to access devolution benefits during and before the full establishment of Strategic Authorities. The project aims to produce evidence-based recommendations for Government implementation of Rewiring the State and complementary devolution reforms. Suppliers should understand that this is a research and policy development opportunity focused on understanding barriers to devolution benefit delivery and identifying practical solutions for accelerated implementation across diverse local governance structures.
