This procurement process is currently in the tender stage and will close for submissions on 18th February 2020. The service contract is set to commence on 2nd March 2020 and will last for one year. The project falls under the categories of community services and health and social work services, and the procurement method is an open procedure. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in community services, health and social work, and those experienced in working with migrant populations. Companies that provide mentoring, social support, or community engagement services would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project could not only enhance service delivery for vulnerable communities but also pave the way for further partnerships within the public sector in Birmingham. ## Notice Birmingham City Council, on behalf of Birmingham Community Safety Partnership (BCSP), wishes to support the aims of the project which are to create strong, inclusive and resilient communities, where everyone can access the support and services they need and is able to exercise their rights.

Therefore we invite tenders from Providers who strive for excellence in designing, delivering and evaluating Projects which lead to greater community cohesion.
