Consultation, participation and the record that has to survive challenge
Engagement is commissioned because a decision will be tested, and the deliverable is as much a defensible record as a set of conversations. Where consultation is statutory, the requirements are specific: it must happen when proposals are still at a formative stage, give enough information and time for intelligent response, and demonstrably take the responses into account. A programme that fails those tests is a legal vulnerability, so bids are evaluated on process rigour at least as much as on creativity.
Reach is the scored criterion that most often separates bids. Anyone can run a public meeting and receive the views of people who attend public meetings; the difficulty is reaching people who do not respond -- young people, shift workers, those without internet access, groups with language or disability barriers, and communities with a history of being consulted and ignored. Buyers ask for specific methods, partners and incentives, and for reporting on who was reached rather than how many responses arrived.
Analysis and publication close the loop. Responses have to be analysed systematically rather than counted, with a documented method for coding free text, a clear distinction between organised campaign responses and individual ones, and a published report showing what was said and how it influenced the outcome. Data protection governs the handling of responses, and independence matters: a facilitator perceived as working for a predetermined answer loses the participation the exercise depends on, which is why buyers frequently require a supplier with no interest in the decision.
This section describes how this category is bought generally, across the public buyers that publish it. The figures elsewhere on this page are measured for this market alone.
