## Summary

The Peterborough City Council is leading a public procurement process for the project titled "Pride in Peterborough Listening Exercise," aimed at fostering community engagement throughout the region. This initiative, classified under the services industry category, is located in Peterborough, UK. The procurement process, which has reached the award stage as of 28th July 2026, involves a light-touch regime with two key lots designed to enhance neighbourhood and seldom-heard community engagement. Contracts for these services will commence on 4th August 2026, with Lot 1 concluding on 3rd August 2027 and Lot 2 ending on 3rd June 2027. The procurement method used was 'below threshold - without competition,' highlighting a more direct approach.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations experienced in community engagement and outreach, such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The contract's design emphasises broad public interaction and targeted engagement with underrepresented communities, creating a favourable environment for businesses that excel in public engagement and trust-building activities. Companies capable of delivering training services in community settings would be well-suited to compete, as the contract requires heavy involvement in community-driven activities. The involvement of established local bodies, like Citizens UK Charity and Peterborough Council for Voluntary Service, underscores the focus on local expertise and impact.

## Notice

The contract is for the design and delivery of a structured neighbourhood listening exercise to support the initial engagement phase of the Pride in Place programme in Peterborough. The service will deliver place-based and targeted community engagement activities across the Pride in Place neighbourhood areas, with the purpose of capturing resident insight, building local trust, and informing neighbourhood priorities and future programme delivery. Lot 1 - Neighbourhood and Schools Citizen Engagement: Delivery of broad, high-visibility engagement across neighbourhoods, including street-based engagement, community events, school-based and family engagement, and activity in mainstream community settings. This Lot focuses on achieving wide reach, visibility and awareness, contributing the majority share towards the programme's minimum resident engagement targets. Lot 2 - Seldom-Heard Communities and Communities of Interest: Delivery of targeted, trust-based engagement with residents who face barriers to participation, working through VCSE, faith-based and community-of-interest organisations. This Lot focuses on depth of engagement, inclusion of under-represented voices, and ensuring insights from seldom-heard communities are visible and protected within the overall analysis.
