This initiative seeks to engage with Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations to help inform future policy regarding collaboration with the VCSE sector. Key dates include online engagement sessions scheduled for the 20th and 22nd of May 2025, with the overall engagement concluding on the 6th of June 2025. The engagement is set within the health services industry category, and the location of the activity is within the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as a services category and the main contract period of interest falls between the 19th of May and 6th of June 2025. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses associated with health and community services, particularly those with expertise in collaborating with the VCSE sector. Such businesses can potentially influence future collaboration policies, providing them with significant growth prospects in shaping policy as well as in expanding their scope of services. Enterprises with a background in health and social work services are especially well-suited to engage with this initiative. Participating in this engagement could lead to new opportunities in the public sector, especially for organisations interested in developing relationships with central government bodies like the DHSC. ## Notice We're looking to engage with VCSE organisations and those that may work/commission them on a national basis to inform our thinking on any future policy about working with the VCSE sector.
