VCSE Infrastructure Support

Through this contact, we want to commission an effective and high-quality local infrastructure support service to: • Provide trusted leadership for the sector, ensuring that it has a strong co-ordinated voice and influence. • Build effective connections, collaboration, and relationships within the sector and with other strategic partners including the council, health services and business community. • Support organisations to be well managed, resilient, sustainable, and responsive to local communities. During the 2 year contract term the Council will want to work closely with the provider to consider how this could be best achieved and to identify additional funding and other support to invest more broadly into service provision.
