Currently Supporting a Volunteer Network as Part of Your Organisational Activities Across The City of Edinburgh Council?

The City of Edinburgh Council is seeking suitable providers to help fulfil the provision of a Community Wealth Building (CWB) model to deliver a range of greenspace and community development/improvement services to Council owned land.

This is a great opportunity to support CWB, with a focus on transforming our local and regional economic systems to enable local communities and people to own, have greater stake in, access and benefit from the wealth our economy generates.

In order to build on and recognise the importance and investment of local community groups, third sector organisations and not for profit groups the Council is introducing a budget dedicated to a new Community Led Improvement Programme (CLIP).

This Framework Agreement shall be limited to Service Providers who support a volunteer network as part of their organisational activities and is anticipated to be of interest primarily to the third sector.

This framework agreement has been split into two Lots:

Lot 1 – Community Mapping and Engagement

• Service providers will be required to develop, manage and deliver CLIP projects across Edinburgh.

Lot 2 – Delivery of Improvement Projects

• Continuing from the work performed in Lot 1, this Lot requires Service Providers to deliver the approved projects alongside the Lot 1 Service Provider and City of Edinburgh Council.

The estimated total value of this contract excluding VAT is £1.24 million.

The time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is Wednesday 27 May 2026 at 12pm.

A contract notice has been published on public Contracts Scotland (PCS), although interested parties will need to register with PCS-Tender to gather additional information and express their interest.
