Summary of the contracting process

Highlands and Islands Enterprise is conducting the "Support for Communities Framework 2022-26" procurement process, focusing on delivering support services to community organisations and social enterprises in the UK. The procurement is currently complete, with an estimated budget of between £400,000 and £450,000 over three years, covering various support activities from April 2022. The procurement method was an open procedure, and the invitation for bids closed on 28th February 2022, after which awards were made to several suppliers.

Businesses with expertise in fair work, net zero initiatives, and sustainability are particularly well-suited to compete for these contracts as they align with the framework's focus. Participating companies can leverage this framework to expand their client base within the public sector, thereby enhancing their service portfolio and community impact.

Notice Title

Support for Communities Framework 2022-26

Notice Description

THIS IS A CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE AND AS SUCH THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS IS COMPLETE. The Framework is an alternative means of providing a range of practical hands-on support (not advice, which is available through HIE's Specialist Advice Framework) to community organisations and social enterprises that lack the capacity or a particular skill-set to timeously progress an opportunity. This is added value support and must complement the existing social enterprise support ecosystem and, therefore, must not duplicate services already available via other HIE Frameworks e.g. Board Healthcheck and Skills Training or other public sector/public sector supported organisations, e.g. Business Gateway, Just Enterprise, etc. It is expected that these services will be required from April 2022 for an initial period of 3 years, with HIE having the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 year following the Initial Term. The 3 year budget currently available to deliver this service is between 400 000 GBP and 450 000 GBP (excluding VAT).
