Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) and what it means for procurement and tendering

After withdrawing its previous decision on Local Government Reorganisation in Hampshire and the wider Solent area, and reviews its plans, the Government has confirmed that councils in Hampshire and the Solent area will be reorganised in April 2029.

However, the review is still underway, and no final decision has yet been made on the future structure of councils.

Further LGR updates will be published on the County Council’s LGR webpages as more information becomes available.

What happens next?

At this stage, there are no immediate changes. Hampshire County Council remains fully responsible and accountable for delivering its services in the usual way.

All existing contractual, financial, and commissioning arrangements remain in place. No changes are required to our current relationship with your organisation, and we are pleased to continue working with you to deliver high performing public services.

We will provide updates on LGR as more information becomes available.
