CWC22067 - Provision of Community and Voluntary Service

Tender description

Service Providers are invited to submit their proposals to demonstrate how they will play an active role to achieve delivery of Wolverhampton’s Our City, Our Plan Priorities bringing jobs and opportunities to local people, whilst tackling some of the wider challenges the City faces. There are 8 lots and potential Providers are invited to submit applications to deliver the service specifications within the agreed timescales and within the payment model provided. Providers may bid to deliver one or more Lots solely by their organisation or in partnership or collaboratively with other Providers which are welcomed and encouraged. Where there is more than one Provider coming together in partnership, one Provider should be identified as the Lead. The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UK SPF) is intended to replace EU funding. UK SPF aims to increase life chances and build pride in place across the UK, by empowering places to invest in local priorities across three priority areas: communities and place, local business and people and skills. The Fund will initially focus on communities and place and local business interventions in 2022-23 and 2023-24. Investment to support people and skills will follow from 2024-25. As part of Wolverhampton’s local investment plan for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, we are exploring opportunities for additional funding for VCS activities, therefore allocations against these contracts may increase. You are invited to work with us to meet the needs outlined in the lots which are aimed at delivering services right in the heart of Wolverhampton’s communities, to achieve real outcomes for the residents of the City.
