Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council commissioned a structured neighbourhood listening exercise for the initial engagement phase of its Pride in Place programme in Peterborough. The service is intended to capture residents’ views, build local trust, inform neighbourhood priorities and support future programme delivery. Lot 1 covers broad, visible engagement across neighbourhoods, including street-based activity, community events, schools, families and mainstream community settings. Lot 2 covers targeted, trust-based engagement with seldom-heard communities and communities of interest, working through voluntary, community, faith-based and other local organisations. The work is a public engagement and community research service, with activities delivered across the Pride in Place neighbourhood areas. Both lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and the contracts were awarded on 28 July 2026 through a direct award below the threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. Lot 1, Neighbourhood and Schools Citizen Engagement, was awarded to Citizens UK Charity for £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT), for 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2027. Lot 2, Seldom-Heard Communities and Communities of Interest, was awarded to Peterborough Council for Voluntary Service for £118,478 excluding VAT (£142,174 including VAT), for 4 August 2026 to 3 June 2027. The stated classification is training services. The requirement was divided between broad-reach engagement and targeted inclusion work, with the selected suppliers recorded against their respective lots.

This procurement shows demand from Peterborough City Council for structured, place-based resident engagement delivered at both scale and depth. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to plan and run street engagement, community events, school and family activities, and work in mainstream community settings, while also building trusted relationships with seldom-heard residents and communities of interest. Relevant strengths include local knowledge of Peterborough’s neighbourhoods, inclusive engagement methods, community research and insight gathering, and the ability to turn resident evidence into clear analysis and programme priorities. For targeted work, established links with voluntary, community, faith-based and other community organisations would be important. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate reach, safeguarding and dependable delivery across multiple engagement settings.
