Description

The South Area Council wants to commission a Provider to deliver a service that will complement existing service provision to improve the overall environmental appearance of the Darfield, Hoyland Milton, Rockingham and Wombwell wards. The service will contribute to maintaining a clean, well presented and welcoming physical environment in these four wards, through the involvement and inspiration of local volunteers, community groups, businesses and schools to Love Where You Live and actively engage in sustaining their own neighbourhoods. This will include working jointly to tackle local issues of littering, dog fouling, shrub bed maintenance, cutting back etc. The service will also provide some reactive work, but the emphasis will remain clearly on 'doing with' the local community, rather than 'doing for' them. The service will also provide 4 Apprenticeship opportunities per year for young people or adults who are out of work. Background information about the South Area and the South Area Council which serves it can be found in the tender documentation.. In developing and delivering this service, the provider should ensure that it is contributing to the Council's corporate priorities and outcome statements. Sustainability, community support, self-reliance, resilience and reciprocity should therefore be built into the service design and delivery. Also and where possible, work experience placements, apprentice opportunities, the maximising of local spend and local labour should be used.
