Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council is spearheading a significant procurement titled "Thriving Communities Framework" in the service industry, specifically geared towards community development in Stirling, UK. This open procedure aims to establish a collaborative framework supporting various community-centric endeavours over the course of two years, with the potential for a further 12-month extension. Notably, the procurement entered the award stage, and contracts were signed on 30th May 2025, marking the completion of the process. The framework invites external stakeholders and organisations to co-design and execute initiatives that will aid local communities in leveraging their resources effectively, including their skills and knowledge.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for service-oriented businesses, particularly those specialising in community engagement, service co-design, and asset transfer initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are adept at working collaboratively with local communities are well-suited for this framework, as they can contribute to fostering a person-centred approach that meets the distinct needs of Stirling's residents. With a balanced focus on quality and price, businesses capable of innovative and inclusive engagement strategies could find lucrative prospects to grow and strengthen their footprint in public service delivery within Stirling's vibrant community landscape.
