Description

Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council are developing a new contract for the delivery of Voluntary and Community Sector Infrastructure Support services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

The Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) plays an important role in helping our Authorities and our communities achieve their priorities and plans. We want to build on the achievements of VCS Infrastructure Support Services that have to date strengthened, represented and supported the sector.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Public Sector partners are working together to take a Think Communities approach, which is a shared way of working with and alongside communities, taking account of local strengths and needs. The Think Communities principles are:

· People:  Resilient communities across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough where people can feel safe, healthy, connected and able to help themselves and each other.

· Places:  New and established communities that are integrated, possess a sense of place and which support the resilience of their residents.

· System:  A system wide approach in which partners listen, engage and align with communities and with each other, to deliver public service and support community-led activity.

Commissioners would like to invite interested providers to a Virtual Supplier Event we are holding on Wednesday 9th December at 1pm. If you would like to join the event please register your interest by using the Q&A section to this request by 12noon on Monday 7th December.
