The contract, valued at £25,000, seeks to address governance and diversity issues within the city's neighbourhood forums, which currently lack adequate representation from the Global Majority. The initiative includes a three-month programme focused on training and capacity building, starting on 16 September 2024 and ending on 18 November 2024. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, and the deadline for bid submissions is 23 August 2024. The location for the project is London, United Kingdom. This procurement opportunity offers significant growth prospects for businesses specialising in governance training and diversity consultancy, particularly those experienced in working with community forums and non-profits. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate due to the suitability criteria set by Westminster City Council. This open procedure invites organisations capable of piloting targeted training programmes that can subsequently influence wider community projects through shared learning sessions, thereby fostering long-term client relationships and reputational growth within the public sector. ## Notice Westminster City Council has identified the need for improving governance of the forums and increasing diversity. Currently, the Forum's do not reflect the demographics of the city with a particular lack of Global Majority representation from Black, Asian, dual heritage and people of colour. Forums have also raised challenges with governance and recruitment of committee members. The council is therefore looking for a suitable organisation to pilot a three month programme of training and capacity building to support neighbourhood forums improve the governance and diversity of their committees. Support will be provided to one forum with learning shared with all forums via the quarterly 'Forum of Forum' meeting.
