Description

This contract is reserved for suppliers based within Greater London under PPN 11/20. Only suppliers based in Greater London Area can bid for this project.

GLA is commissioning a partner to deliver the 4th and 5th round of the Civic Futures fellowship programme for 2023/24 and 2024/25 with possible extension of one additional year. The 'Civic Futures' fellowship has been delivered for the last three years.

The Mayor recognises the importance of civil society in supporting communities, delivering services and making London the thriving vibrant place to live.

Civil society also known as Civic society is represented by the people serving their communities, by the city's highly effective activists and organisers, its radical artists and curators, as well as by the individuals and networks exploring new ways of caring for each other and the world around them.

London's civil society has a wealth of assets, experience, and networks.

The programme will work with communities, civil society, and others to build a collaboration and partnership working between the GLA and civil society enabling GLA to improve outcomes for Londoners, including:
• Increased confidence, capabilities and skills for London's civic and regional public sector leaders to make a transition to a better future
• Improved relationships and systems for collaboration between and within London's civic ecosystem

How to apply for the project:

To log in to SAP Ariba (this is to log in only and not to register):
https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw

To register: Please use TfL specific Ariba registration page below:

After registration: To participate in the tender:
