This initiative is tailored to the health and social work services industry, alongside other community, social, and personal services, and is specifically targeted at supporting the voluntary, community, and faith sectors within the Bromley region (UKI61). The procurement process aims to gather insights and feedback from relevant organisations to inform future planning and service development by the council. An online market engagement event has been scheduled for 3rd September 2026, from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm, with a preliminary engagement questionnaire due by 7th August 2026. This tender is a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their operations within the public sector. The engagement exercise seeks to identify organisations with the capability and interest in maintaining and enhancing community services across the borough. Businesses with expertise in providing community support and social services are particularly well-suited to respond to this market engagement. Successful participation could position these organisations for a significant role in the subsequent procurement phase, which will focus on delivering services that enrich community life and meet the borough's strategic objectives. ## Notice Supporting Bromley's voluntary, community and faith sector is essential to helping residents live healthy, independent and fulfilling lives.
