## Summary

Cambridge City Council has commissioned the Springstead Community Development project with the aim of fostering community growth and engagement over a four-year period. This public procurement initiative falls under the services category and is guided by the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis. The project involves organising community-building events, participating in community forums, and working alongside residents to address local needs. This open procurement process, which invited below-threshold open competition, concluded with CARE NETWORK CAMBRIDGESHIRE being awarded the contract on the 1st of May, 2026. The project is set to commence on the 25th of May, 2026, in Cambridge (region UKH12) and is scheduled to run until the 24th of May, 2028, with the potential for renewal.

The Springstead Community Development tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in community services to engage with a governmental body and establish a presence in Cambridge. Such projects are particularly beneficial for organisations adept in community engagement, event management, and partnership building. While the contract value is noted at GBP 113,297, the process attracted interest with five bids being submitted, including from three small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and two voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This competitive environment underscores the demand for businesses that can deliver quality services with a strong focus on community development and interaction. Businesses with a track record in these areas are well-positioned to leverage such opportunities for growth and collaboration with public authorities.
