The total value of the contract is estimated at £480,000, and the contract period is scheduled to commence on 1st October 2017 and conclude on 30th September 2019. Potential suppliers should note that the procurement method details are unspecified. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the voluntary and community sector (VCS) and SMEs, as the contracting authority is looking for providers to enhance the support for the VCS in Leicester. Companies that specialise in community and social services, health and well-being initiatives, or have expertise in income generation for community projects will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Furthermore, suppliers will play a vital role in addressing strategic priority areas such as cardiovascular disease and mental health, which can lead to impactful community engagement and business growth. ## Notice Leicester City Council in conjunction with Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is looking for suitable providers to support their Voluntary and Community Sector Support Service . The Supplier is required to provide support to the city's Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) in accord with the strategic aims for the sector held by the Authority and its partner organisations. The Authority is committed to supporting a vibrant, wide-ranging and effective VCS in Leicester, as an expression of shared common purpose, civic responsibility, integration and cohesion in the city. The long-term strategic goal is that local VCS groups and organisations should be viable in their own right. The Authority and its partner organisations recognise that this is an ongoing process, as new groups and organisations arise from different communities and in response to emerging challenges, needs and opportunities. As the Authority's Children and Young People's Service is a significant contributor to this funding allocation, the Supplier will be required to dedicate a specified proportion (i.e. 25%) of the total support per quarter to the city's Adventure Playgrounds, with particular emphasis on helping them with income generation. As Leicester City CCG is a funding partner to this service, the Supplier will be required to dedicate a specified proportion (i.e. 25%) of the total support per quarter to organisations promoting or providing health and well-being services, particularly related to cardiovascular disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), mental health and older people, which are all strategic priority improvement areas for Leicester City CCG.
