## Summary

Somerset Council has concluded the procurement process for the "Somerset Race, Interfaith and Belief" contract, focusing on providing health and social work services in the region of Somerset (UKK23). The procurement method applied was an "open" competition, specifically below the threshold, adhering to the light-touch regime. The award was announced on 2 September 2025, marking the transition from the tender phase initiated in April 2025 to the award stage. This project's contract period is set to begin on 2 September 2025 and will extend until 30 June 2029. The supplier identified is THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL FOR SOMERSET, an organisation with a local address in Taunton. This contract aims to develop training sessions, host events, and establish networks that empower diverse communities and enhance council services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in training, development, and community engagement, particularly those with expertise in interfaith and belief networks in ethnically diverse communities. With a strong emphasis on quality, price, and social value, businesses that are classified as SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) or VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) are encouraged to partake, especially given the successful bid from THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL FOR SOMERSET. Engaging in this contract could provide a foothold in the public sector and contribute towards more inclusive community services, which aligns with Somerset Council's strategic priorities of promoting empowerment and inclusivity within its service framework.
