Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridgeshire District Councils are currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a free event aimed at businesses operating in Cambridge titled "Find out how your business can tackle poverty in Cambridge." Scheduled for 8th November from 5pm to 7:30pm at Westminster College, Cambridge, this event addresses the socio-economic challenges in the area. The engagement end date is set for 16th January 2019, providing businesses with a clear timeframe to respond and participate in discussions forced on Corporate Social Responsibility and social value in public sector contracts.

This event presents significant growth opportunities for businesses interested in enhancing their local reputation while actively contributing to community welfare. Companies that specialise in corporate social responsibility, human resources practices, or community engagement would be particularly well-suited to participate. The focus on the Social Value Act 2012 indicates that businesses capable of demonstrating a commitment to social and economic benefits will find a competitive edge when bidding for future public sector contracts. Attendance could also provide valuable networking opportunities with local authorities and organisations addressing child poverty.

Notice Title

Free event for businesses operating in Cambridge: Fibnd out how your business can tackle poverty in Cambridge

Notice Description

Did you know that Cambridge is the most unequal city in the UK and there is a 10 year life expectancy gap between the richest and poorest areas in the city? Cambridge City Council is inviting all businesses that operate in Cambridge to a free event on 8th November on how you can help people in financial difficulty in the city. The event will be held between 5pm to 7:30pm at Westminster College in Cambridge. The event will be useful for businesses that are interested in ideas for developing Corporate Social Responsibility work tackling poverty in the Cambridge area. This could help to raise the profile of your business in the local community, whilst you support people in challenging situations or circumstances. We will also share how you can help tackle poverty through different employment practices. This event will be especially useful for businesses bidding for public sector contracts, as the Social Value Act 2012 is increasingly being used to require companies to demonstrate wider social and economic benefits to commissioners.
