Elmbridge Local Infrastructure Organisation Contract

Elmbridge Borough Council is in the planning phase of a procurement process entitled "Elmbridge Local Infrastructure Organisation Contract". This initiative falls under the industry category of services, notably focusing on community action and business organisation services. Located in Esher, United Kingdom, the Council seeks to enhance its community services through the procurement of a Local Infrastructure Organisation (LIO) as part of its Connected Communities programme.

The process involves an initial engagement milestone due by 14th November 2025, with an online event scheduled for 4th November 2025 to outline the opportunity and engage stakeholders. The LIO is expected to facilitate improved collaboration within the Voluntary Community and Faith Sector and manage a Community Connectors programme across a contract period from April 2026 to March 2028. This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations within the Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sectors.

Businesses that specialise in community facilitation and volunteer management are well-suited to compete, given the contract’s focus on advocacy and support services for local communities. With an estimated contract value of £250,000 per annum, this procurement represents a substantial opportunity for organisations looking to enhance their role in civic improvement and community engagement initiatives, contributing to broader social impact goals in the regional area.
