## Summary

The Sheffield City Council is conducting a public procurement process titled "Inclusive Communities - Community Research Project," aimed at delivering equal opportunities consultancy services. This project, which falls under the services category, is intended to explore economic inclusion strategies within specific communities. The tender was initiated as an open procedure and was awarded on 30 November 2018, with the contract period running from 3 December 2018 to 31 May 2019. The project is focused in Yorkshire and the Humber, UK, with a total contract value of £10,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in engaging in community-focused research and consultancy. Businesses that specialise in equal opportunity services and community engagement strategies would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the project seeks to develop evidence-based recommendations to support local economic initiatives.

## Notice

Working with colleagues in Public Health, the Sheffield City Partnership is seeking to develop a deep-dive community research project, focused on cohorts of people who are economically 'excluded' within particular communities. The aim of the project is to help us to find a targeted and manageable way to explore how anchor institutions (including health anchors) can support a more inclusive economy in local communities through workforce, skills development, investment, policies, procurement and more. In this way, we will be seeking to illuminate the institutions' economic relationship with the community in question. We can then use this learning experience to look more broadly at our approaches city-wide and inform the development of robust and evidence-based recommendations for our local Framework for an Inclusive and Sustainable Economy, which we plan to launch in October 2018.
