Description

The Network is being developed as part of the support offer for Neighbourhood Boards and community leaders (as the end customer/user), aiming to build lasting community capacity and support inclusive, locally-led change.
The Network aims will be to:
- Provide Neighbourhood Boards with access to bespoke advice and guidance to support community-led regeneration
- Enable strong community leadership, facilitating identification of current and future leaders, and equipping them with the skills, tools and confidence to drive change through inclusive engagement and effective community organising
- Support peer learning and share good practice, including through events and a new digital platform
MHCLG requires a supplier to create and manage the Network, delivering a flexible programme of support and peer learning opportunities for Pride in Place Programme (PiPP) areas. The contract is anticipated to be for an estimated value of £12.03M excl. VAT over an initial period of 3 years, with possible MHCLG extension options of up to 2 further years (subject to need and funding). We anticipate this will include a coherent package and 'one stop shop' for PiPP places to access support.
