The contract is valued at £825,000 and is set to commence on 11 January 2016, lasting until 8 January 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on community development, social services, and public health initiatives. Organisations capable of providing community workers, managing small grant allocations effectively, and supporting local projects would be particularly well-suited for this contract.

The Fund has been established for communities in Fenland to access small grants to develop local projects and interventions to address their needs. This funding may be used to strengthen the community by supporting the building blocks or for a specific project that addresses a community issue. Over the course of the Programme there will be an annual fund for allocating grants to communities. The criteria for allocating the grants will be agreed with the commissioner. The provider will enable communities to become stronger and more resilient by providing community workers to build community capacity through identifying community members to act as enablers and supporting them to work with their communities to realise their assets and manage their own needs. They will also be expected to: identify and pursue additional funding opportunities to augment the size of the fund available to communities; provide an easy access and single point of contact for communities; provide online and digital information to ensure that resources can be used to best effect and connecting with all relevant community groups and organisations; work with partners at a strategic and operational level. The service needs to be proactive, identifying and anticipating changes and supporting the communities to meet changing circumstances, providing insight and intelligence to inform community decisions and action. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6211861d-98f1-49cd-a563-f0b9367b2f9d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 21 Sep 2015 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Jan 2016 - 8 Jan 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £825,000 | | 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 | LGSS | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN4 7YD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Nene Valley | | Westminster constituency | Northampton South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6211861d-98f1-49cd-a563-f0b9367b2f9d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6211861d-98f1-49cd-a563-f0b9367b2f9d 3rd September 2015 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.lgssprocurementportal.co.uk/procontract/NBC/supplier.nsf/frm_opportunity?OpenForm&contract_id=CONTRACT-9XTH-SZF3Y5 Provider contract link ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgssprocurementportal.co.uk/procontract/NBC/supplier.nsf ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
