Key dates include the tender period ending on 27th February 2025, contract commencement on 3rd March 2025, and completion by 30th November 2025. The procurement method involves an award via waiver PUB25040w1, with the total contract value amounting to £37,650 GBP.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, particularly those specialising in consultancy services and community engagement within technical and health sectors.

The procurement process reinforces collaboration and community practice models, fostering an environment where SMEs and VCSEs can thrive by leveraging their specialised skills in consultancy and social work services.

## Notice

The delivery of services will be split into 2 phases. Phase 1 will be a Diagnostic and reflection phase where the focus will be on completion of a thematic analysis of Growth In Actions (GIA) progress to date, capturing the benefits realised from alliance working, whilst also capturing the barriers and blockages preventing the alliance from realising the transformational ambitions as outlined within the alliance agreement. Phase 2 will form the reset, reframe and action phase of the commission, which will build on the insights gained from phase 1 to embed a community of practice model across GIA and completion of a training needs analysis.
