This research project aims to enhance the Fund's support for thriving communities in the UK by gaining a deeper understanding of empowered individuals who positively impact their communities. The procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold), with a tender period ending on January 30, 2023, and a contract period starting on February 13, 2023, and ending on March 31, 2023. The project falls under the main procurement category of services and is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the research and development consultancy services sector to engage with the social infrastructure of thriving communities. Companies providing evaluation consultancy services may also find this tender relevant. The project focuses on empowering active individuals within communities to drive positive change. Businesses that specialise in community engagement, social research, and service delivery to support community development are well-suited to compete for this tender. The location of the project includes various regions, such as the UK, Europe, and other parts of the world, offering a broad scope for participation. ## Notice Central to the Fund's role is supporting communities in the UK to thrive. We are carrying out work to increase our understandings of how we can further enable this. To support our thinking, we have developed a Thriving Communities model that maps the building blocks of a thriving community, drawing on external evidence and models developed by others. The model considers social infrastructure as a central component of a thriving community. This is made up of three elements: places for people to come together/the means to get to them; activities and support to bring people together; and people and organisations active in their community to lead, shape and effect positive change. We are commissioning a small but foundational piece of research to further understand this last category of empowered and active people who lead, shape and make things happen in their community.
