## Summary

The procurement process for the Covid-19 Vaccine Community Engagement Grant Social Media Training is managed by the London Borough of Newham, located in England. The tender, with a total value of £37,000, falls under the health and social work services industry category and is now at the award stage. The initial tender period ended on 8th July 2021, and the contract period commenced on 3rd September 2021, lasting until 28th February 2022.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in social media training, digital communication strategies, and community engagement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as the training is aimed at empowering community leaders in utilising digital channels effectively to enhance vaccine uptake within their communities. The focus on tackling vaccine disinformation through skilled training creates an ideal environment for innovative approaches and localised solutions.

## Notice

Newham council working alongside our NHS partners, have developed a model of a "Supportive Conversation" approach to community engagement around the vaccine, rooted in evidence about what helps to tackle vaccine hesitancy. As we believe the vaccines are safe, will save many lives and are vital to our path out of the covid-19 pandemic, we want to work closely with communities to support and address take up issues by being actively in partnership with our residents. The Covid-19 vaccine community engagement grant is one of the strands coming out of our supportive conversations framework. We have 14 community organisations that are a part of the Newham Vaccine Community Engagement Programme. It aims to improve vaccine uptake by ensuring community led supportive conversations and empowering communities that can't be reached through our normal channels to lead their own vaccine discussions with the right information, resources and support. A key part of this grant programme is a social media training offer that provides communities with the digital skills to utilise their social media platforms. We are looking for a social media training course that will help 20 key community leads in developing skills that will build their confidence in using digital channels to communicate with audiences. To gain an understanding of how they can use social media to effectively reach people within their communities and counter vaccine disinformation
