## Summary

Eastleigh Borough Council is commissioning community services in Eastleigh Borough. The provider will work in partnership with the Council to support its priorities and the local community, delivering the service within the areas set out in the tender requirements. This is a services contract for community, social and personal services (CPV 98000000). The procurement is organised as one contract rather than being divided into separate lots. Delivery is in the Eastleigh area of Hampshire. The Council describes the provider as independent, while expecting it to work with the Council and other organisations towards shared community objectives. The scope is confined to the specified service areas in the tender requirements.

The Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This process reached tender: the buyer invited suppliers to submit bids. Questions were due by 13 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC, and bids by 23 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend by up to one year, to 31 March 2030. The published maximum budget is £45,000 per year and £90,000 over the initial contract period; the estimated tender value is £135,000 excluding VAT (£162,000 including VAT). The Council will select the most advantageous tender, scoring price at 40%, quality at 40% and presentation at 20%.

This opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is likely to suit an independent community-service provider able to deliver the specified local service areas and work constructively with Eastleigh Borough Council and other organisations. Suppliers should be able to show that their service can support the Council’s priorities and contribute to a community in which local organisations can take pride. Price, quality and presentation each form a stated part of the assessment, so bidders need a credible service proposal as well as a competitive price and the ability to present their offer clearly. The requirement is described as community services, but the detailed service activities are set out in the tender requirements.

## Notice

The successful provider, whilst independent with its own objectives, will be capable of delivering the Council's priorities and work in partnership to support a community in which all the organisations can take pride.
