## Notice

North Northamptonshire Council (hereafter referred to as the "Council") wishes to invite Tender Responses for the supply of services in respect of this requirement. The council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced service provider, which could be through a Lead Provider Model, to deliver Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Infrastructure services across North Northamptonshire. A lead provider model is when one organisation holds the contract with commissioners for all services and then subcontracts to other providers. The provider must ensure that its programme supports North Northamptonshire Council in achieving the desired outcomes or targets, mindful of the Community Strategy 2024 - 2027.
