## Summary

Burnley Borough Council has awarded a contract for the development and delivery of a 5-year Community Inclusion Programme. This project, which falls under the industry category of a community action programme, aims to engage local residents in heritage and cultural activities to foster community cohesion and enhance wellbeing. Mid Pennine Arts, a local SME, has been selected as the supplier for this contract. The project will be conducted in two phases: development and delivery. The delivery phase is conditional upon a successful stage two application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Key dates include the award publication on 17 February 2025, the contract commencement on 24 February 2025, and the project tenure lasting until 31 January 2031, with activities based in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in community engagement and cultural heritage. Companies equipped with expertise in organising inclusive events and creative community programmes can leverage this opportunity to build their portfolios and expand their business operations. The open procedure procurement method below threshold ensures that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have a competitive chance to win the tender. SMEs with innovative approaches to community activities and a track record of delivering successful programmes would be well-suited to compete for such bids, leading to sustainable business growth and stronger community ties.

## Notice

Burnley Borough Council, working with partner organisations including Burnley Leisure and Culture and Burnley Central Library, requires a suitably qualified and experienced consultant/consultancy to develop (phase 1) and support delivery (phase 2) of an ambitious programme of inclusive community events to engage local people in heritage and culture in inspiring, innovative, fun and creative ways. The programme will include active participation in heritage-based activities to help achieve positive wellbeing outcomes, promote strengthened community cohesion and pride of place. Additional information: Development Phase 1 and Delivery Phase 2 are two separate phases of the Councils requirement. Implementation of Phase 2 is subject to a successful second stage application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Council reserves the right not to reappoint to Stage 2 should the programme not progress to delivery.
