BT287 - Westminster Community Hubs Design

The procurement process for "BT287 - Westminster Community Hubs Design" was overseen by Westminster City Council, located in London, United Kingdom. The initiative seeks to appoint a skilled supplier as the design, evaluation, and learning partner for a programme dedicated to establishing community-led hubs throughout the city. This aligns with the council's #2035 goals aimed at addressing inequality.

Conducted through an open procurement method, the tender invited competition under a below-threshold value. It progressed from its initiation on 14 May 2025 to contract signing by 4 September 2025. The contract spans from 4 September 2025 to 31 August 2026, with a potential one-month renewal.

The valued contract's gross amount is £114,000. This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those related to community action, technical, business analysis, project management, design, evaluation, and equal opportunities. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Collaborate C.I.C LIMITED, a Birmingham-based supplier, have proven successful in this context, demonstrating that businesses focusing on community-led development and consultancy can meaningfully participate and potentially expand their operations through similar public procurement opportunities.

The project’s emphasis on tackling local inequality and improving community access offers a unique platform for businesses to engage in socially impactful work while growing their business footprint.
