## Summary

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is commissioning voluntary and community sector coordinator services to support its children and young people’s strategy. The provider will coordinate and strengthen the Council’s partnership with voluntary, community and wider third-sector organisations, particularly organisations working with children, young people and families. The service is intended to develop stronger, more engaged and sustainable partnerships, drawing on the sector’s experience in responding to local needs and improving outcomes for families. It covers health and social work services and will be delivered in Tower Hamlets, with partnership activity extending to organisations within the borough and beyond. The opportunity is therefore suited to organisations that understand the voluntary and community sector and can support strategic coordination across children’s and family services.

The process reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 28 September 2026 at 13:00, and tenders by 6 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the London Tenders portal, using project reference DN824203. The initial contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 31 October 2030. The estimated value is £204,019 excluding VAT, or £244,822.80 including VAT. Quality accounts for 60% of evaluation, price for 30% and social value for 10%. Participation is reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises established with substantive business operations in Tower Hamlets.

This opportunity suits a locally established voluntary, community or social enterprise, or another SME with a genuine operational presence and substantive business operations in Tower Hamlets. Eligible suppliers must be able to evidence staffed premises, a delivery base or another active local operating presence, and should be prepared for that evidence to be checked. The strongest fit is likely to be an organisation with experience coordinating voluntary and community sector partners, building sustainable cross-sector relationships and supporting services for children, young people and families. It should understand local community needs, engage a broad range of organisations and translate sector expertise into strategic support for the Council. Because quality carries most of the evaluation weighting, practical delivery capability, partnership management and relevant experience will be central to a competitive bid.
