Description

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ONLINE MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENT Leicester City Council is considering commissioning a Community Connectors Service, which will focus on six deprived areas of the city. The community connectors will take a community centred, (i.e. Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) or similar) approach to build confident and connected communities with the aims of reducing isolation and loneliness, improving physical and mental health and reducing health inequalities. It is anticipated that tenders for the Community Connectors Service will be sought in July/August 2022 to enable new contract(s) to begin from January 2023. As part of the commissioning process for the Community Connectors Service, the Commissioners of this service are hosting an Online Market Engagement Event. The Online Market Engagement Event is being held on Friday 24th June 2022 commencing at 11.00 a.m. and is anticipated to end at 1.00 p.m. The event will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams.
