This initiative seeks to expand community development programmes in the Bidford-on-Avon, Meon Vale, and Shackleton areas. It follows a successful pilot project aimed at increasing community resilience in the Bishopton and Clopton areas. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focussing on community action programmes and social services. The procurement method is open, allowing various interested parties to submit tenders electronically through the specified portal. Key dates to note include the tender submission deadline on 23 February 2026, and the award decision expected by 27 March 2026. The contract is planned to commence on 1 April 2026, with a potential renewal option extending up to 31 March 2029. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialised in community development and engagement services. Ideal candidates are those with a proven track record in building partnerships within local communities, particularly in civic betterment and community facility support. The collaboration with community representatives and organisations is encouraged to better address local needs and ensure successful project delivery. The open procurement process invites diverse service providers to compete, offering them the chance to contribute to significant social change while expanding their business portfolio within the public sector. The project's substantial budget of £240,000 provides lucrative possibilities for companies capable of effectively executing such community-focused initiatives. ## Notice The Community Builder pilot project began in November 2022 to support the communities and respective community centres in the Bishopton and Clopton areas of Stratford-upon-Avon. It was a multi-agency funded project supported by Stratford District Council, Stratford Town Trust, Stratford Town Council and Orbit Group. The purpose of this project was to understand the existing assets and needs in these communities and mobilise them to increase individual and collective resilience through a range of initiatives and opportunities. The pilot project was considered a success and has been extended for a further five years. Subsequent to the introduction of this Stratford-upon-Avon town project a further Community Builder has been funded through the Section 106 process to undertake similar activity at Upper Lighthorne a site where a significant amount of housing growth will occur over the next decade. The Council now seeks a further expansion of community development into a further area/s of the district where similar energy is needed to work with communities to achieve their potential. The Council has identified Bidford-on-Avon, Meon Vale and Shackleton areas and we would encourage potential providers of this type of service to rapidly build relationships with those areas, determine where their work will be best received and then submit a tender, supported by or in partnership with local community representatives and organisations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003295-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jan 2026 | | Submission deadline | 23 Feb 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2026 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | £200,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STRATFORD-ON-AVON DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | STRATFORD UPON AVON | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV37 6HX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG13 Warwickshire CC | | Local authority | Stratford-on-Avon | | Electoral ward | Stratford Guildhall & Bridgetown | | Westminster constituency | Stratford-on-Avon | | Delivery location | TLG13 Warwickshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85322000 - Community action programme - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services - 98133100 - Civic betterment and community facility support services ## Release History - 14 Jan 2026 at 19:42 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003295-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003295-2026 14th January 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/midlands/home In-Tend Procurement Portal ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
