## Summary

The procurement process for the "Community Organisers Expansion" project is led by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, based in London, UK. The contract, valued at £3,871,382, focuses on expanding the number of Community Organisers to enhance social change in the UK’s deprived neighbourhoods, with a contract period running from 16 January 2017 to 31 March 2020. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the contract officially awarded on 13 January 2017.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the services sector that are focused on community engagement and development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) could find this an excellent avenue for growth, given the project's emphasis on supporting local communities and the need for innovative strategies to recruit and train Community Organisers. Businesses with expertise in community organising, training facilitation, and social programmes would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts.

## Notice

We wish to appoint a partner to expand the number of Community Organisers recruited to 10,000 by March 2020 - an expansion of 3,500. This will include supporting the most effective and/or highest potential Community Organisers recruited through the 2010 - 2015 Community Organisers programme to broaden and deepen their impact, training new Community Organisers, and facilitating peer-to-peer support between Community Organisers. The ultimate aim is for residents to take action together in and across England's most deprived neighbourhoods for social change - focused on the issues that matter most to them.
