## Summary

The procurement process titled "Facilitation of the Residents' Reference Panel" has been initiated by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government. This project falls under the industry category of Stakeholders Representation Services and is based in London, England. The tender process has been completed, with the contract awarded to The Involve Foundation. The procurement method followed was an open procedure (below threshold), with the tender opening on September 14, 2018, and closing on September 26, 2018. The contract period commenced on October 11, 2018, and is set to conclude on October 31, 2019, with a total value of £43,313.50.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the services sector, especially those specialising in stakeholder engagement and community participation, such as SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises). The contract aims to enhance communication and understanding of housing policy through the facilitation of a Residents' Reference Panel, which involves planning events and ensuring active participant engagement. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in community consultation or event management would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts.

## Notice

The purpose of the Panel is to allow housing members an opportunity to share their experiences, priorities and perspectives of high rise living. These perspectives will be used to inform the Authority's building safety policy department. The supplier will be required to facilitate the design and running of the Residents' Reference Panel. This will include planning and delivering panel events, recording views the panel has on specific housing policies and chairing debate within the group. Furthermore, they will be required to provide a clear 'feedback loop' between themselves and the Panel members throughout the process so that the participants feel effectively engaged.
