Description

Warwickshire County Council (the Council) is seeking to commission a single or multiple provider(s) to deliver a range of activities to build a thriving, sustainable and dynamic Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Sector that improves the lives of individuals and communities in Warwickshire.

The service will be divided into the following four lots:

Lot 2: Social Action

Lot 3: Social Enterprise Development
The supplier will perform an enabling function to deliver an infrastructure that promotes and delivers a diverse and sustainable social enterprise sector.

Lot 4: Collaboration, Partnerships and Development
The supplier will perform an enabling function to deliver the conditions for collaboration and co-production.

The providers must work collaboratively together and will need to work with commissioners, referrers, and service users to deliver the outcomes.
