This tender opportunity aims to create regional hubs to promote mutual support among communities participating in the Community Fund.

The opportunity is suitable for businesses with a focus on community engagement and knowledge sharing across different UK regions. ## Notice Please read the attached supporting documents for a background to the project and the application process. The purpose of creating regional hubs is to bring together communities participating in the Community Fund to learn from one another and build relationships to create mutual support for their projects and their groups. WWF and RSPB recognize that while we have audiences for the Community Fund there is significant gaps in terms of who we cater to. We are looking to work with implementation partners that work with these missing communities to understand how we can remove barriers to entry and provide support for them throughout their project. Specifically, we are looking for partners who work with: * Lower socio-economic groups (LSEG) /communities (IMD 1-3) * Across all x4 UK nations Objectives: Regional hubs will draw on their networks to identify community groups of interest and promote the fund and its resources to them. Additionally, they will assist in creating and maintaining convening networks for participating communities to meet online and in person to meet, learn and collaborate with one another. Some of the key components include: Promotion of Fund and Capacity Building Programme 1. Communicating fund opportunities to local community groups who operate in LSEG areas 2. Provide support to community groups from application, through to delivery of the projects 3. Directing groups to support resources provided by fund, including capacity building and training provided by RSPB and WWF 4. Assist in identifying case studies that will be integrated into the wider Wild Isles communications campaign Regional Convening 1. Identify areas within the UK to act as regional hub centres for Fund participants. There must be at least one hub in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. 2. Assist in the coordination and design of a national convening event in summer of 2023 3. Connecting groups on the local level through online and in-person events ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a289a437-0ebe-4161-b3d4-c2fc8dc15e84 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 5 Dec 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 19 Dec 2022 - 30 Jun 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £112,500 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WWF-UK (WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE) TRADING LIMITED | | Locality | WOKING | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU21 4LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Woking | | Electoral ward | Horsell | | Westminster constituency | Woking | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 79320000 - Public-opinion polling services ## Release History - 29 Nov 2022 at 09:28 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a289a437-0ebe-4161-b3d4-c2fc8dc15e84 - 28 Nov 2022 at 16:13 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a289a437-0ebe-4161-b3d4-c2fc8dc15e84 - 8 Nov 2022 at 16:29 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a289a437-0ebe-4161-b3d4-c2fc8dc15e84 - 8 Nov 2022 at 16:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a289a437-0ebe-4161-b3d4-c2fc8dc15e84 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a289a437-0ebe-4161-b3d4-c2fc8dc15e84 29th November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8c54a1c6-ee14-4fa5-af22-3a606ed4a922 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/58e5ad47-a1e7-4b8e-b18f-ae6b3d9050f2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/afe018a1-978e-44de-8d37-09d2ba1413fe - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a716393b-b157-4b59-8a8f-5681889ac801 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4149b95b-eba5-4b9e-adfb-e2e54e710cf7 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e47cb1c5-a687-4f1a-a445-bb4cba5f1955 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/35712dc5-30c5-439f-b086-eb8023dbccd0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/14954e3e-cd1d-462d-8261-44ed5a6bfade ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
