Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council procured engagement, co-design, governance and board development services for the Willenhall Pride in Place Programme. The work supports the creation and development of a resident-led Neighbourhood Board and Neighbourhood Plan, including community engagement, collaborative design and governance arrangements. It is a service requirement covering social research, business and management consultancy, and community and civic support. Delivery is centred on Willenhall in Coventry, for the benefit of local residents and the neighbourhood programme. The buyer is Coventry City Council, a sub-central public authority. This opportunity is relevant to organisations experienced in community engagement, participatory planning, resident-led regeneration, neighbourhood governance, facilitation and the development of local partnerships and decision-making structures.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to This is Capacity CIC. It used a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 13 July 2026. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. The Council may extend it by up to two further 12-month periods, subject to satisfactory performance, continuing need, funding and written agreement, with a maximum expiry date of 9 August 2029. The estimated tender value was £65,000 net and £78,000 gross. The awarded contract value is £63,445 net and £76,134 gross. Evaluation was based on 60% technical and quality and 40% net price, using the most advantageous offer.

This award indicates demand from Coventry City Council for specialist support that combines community engagement with practical neighbourhood governance. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to design and deliver inclusive engagement, co-design activity and resident participation, then turn that activity into an effective Neighbourhood Board and Plan. Relevant capability includes facilitating workshops and discussions, researching and representing community views, supporting local partnerships, developing governance arrangements, and building the skills of board members. Suppliers should be able to manage the relationship between residents, the Council and other local stakeholders, while producing clear, usable plans and governance processes. Experience of place-based regeneration, community development, civic participation or resident-led decision-making would be directly relevant to this buyer and requirement.
