This service aims to enhance community engagement across various localities by employing Community Builders who will foster conversations with residents and identify community leaders. This tender falls under the industry category of "Other community, social and personal services" (CPV: 98000000) and "Community action programme" (CPV: 85322000). It is an open procedure with a maximum contract value of £195,000. Interested parties must submit their tenders by 11th November 2024, with the contract commencing on 1st April 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2028. The service will be delivered in Southend-on-Sea, England, and can include a variety of locations globally such as British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands. This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialize in community services and engagement. Businesses experienced in fostering community cohesion, offering social services, or managing community-focused projects will find this contract particularly aligned with their expertise. This project provides a platform for these organisations to expand their operational footprint, demonstrate their impact in community-building processes, and strengthen their portfolios through collaboration with a reputable public body like Southend City Council. ## Notice Community Builders will "walk the streets" in the four Localities of the city and undertake strength-based conversations with residents, they will become a familiar and trusted person by residents, local businesses and organisations. They will identify community connectors who can also have these conversations in their networks. The Community Builders will rebuild residents and communities trust in their own strengths and assets and encourage connections to be made between residents. In turn residents will link up around their very local priorities to develop projects and activities to address them. Residents could invite the public sector and voluntary sector partners to help, where that help is welcome, and to support the community where it is required.
