## Summary

Dumfries and Galloway Council is in the planning stages of a procurement process titled "Creative Community Engagement," which falls under the general public services industry category. The initiative aims to engage families with lived experience of poverty through creative and innovative means, promoting self-expression and community involvement. The project's activities will take place in the UKM92 region of Dumfries. Set to be initiated with a planned value of £5,000, this service procurement process will progress with further notice expected on 14th August 2026. The direct point of contact for this project is Kieran McClorey, based in Dumfries, with the council functioning as the buying organisation.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in community engagement, creative arts, or social services to contribute to a meaningful social impact initiative. Organisations experienced in designing and implementing programmes that address poverty stigma through unique engagement techniques will find this project particularly aligned with their expertise. Businesses adept at conducting in-person sessions and collaborating with local stakeholders, such as the FFP team and community groups, will be well-positioned to meet the council's objectives. The project also requires a final report capturing both quantitative and qualitative outcomes, presenting opportunities for firms skilled in data analysis and reporting.
