The contract, valued at £3,871,382, focuses on expanding the number of Community Organisers to enhance social change in the UK’s deprived neighbourhoods, with a contract period running from 16 January 2017 to 31 March 2020. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the contract officially awarded on 13 January 2017.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the services sector that are focused on community engagement and development.
