## Summary

The Oxford City Council is currently in the Tender stage of the procurement process for the "Provision of Community and Voluntary Sector Infrastructure" services, with a total value of £116,000. The tender was published on 19 January 2018, and the submission deadline is set for 26 February 2018. This contract is aimed at supporting the community and voluntary sector in Oxford, which faces several challenges, particularly around income generation and service demand. The service is classified under miscellaneous services (CPV code: 98300000) and is open to all interested parties.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSE) looking to expand their operations in Oxford. Businesses that can provide innovative solutions and support to the community services sector would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By engaging with the city's established grants and commissioning programmes, successful bidders can enhance their visibility and strengthen their offerings in a sector that is crucial for addressing community challenges.

## Notice

This is a particularly challenging time for the voluntary and community sector in Oxford, like other parts of the country. Charity leaders interviewed for ACEVO/CAF Social Landscape 2017 say their biggest challenges are generating income, meeting demand for services and reduction in public funding. From our own consultation last year long term funding and sustainability were also highlighted as concerns. Oxford City Council is committed to supporting the community and voluntary sector to work with us to address some of the biggest challenges and inequalities facing communities in Oxford. The City Council runs one of the largest grants and commissioning programmes, relative to population size, in the country and invests in the development of the sector.
