Engagement process description
The Royal Borough of Greenwich is commissioning the NextGen Youth Service as a core part of the borough's new, integrated NextGen Greenwich model. This ambitious transformation programme has been co-designed with children and young people and shaped by extensive engagement with families, schools, voluntary and community organisations, and professionals across the borough.
This is a unique opportunity for providers to be part of a borough-wide shift towards prevention, early intervention, equity, and youth voice, supporting children and young people to thrive and reach their full potential.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich is seeking to engage with providers of NextGen Youth Service to attend our market engagement event.
This event will aim to:
Share our vision for NextGen Greenwich and what we are expecting providers to deliver
Give providers an opportunity to ask us questions
Prepare providers to bid for our services
Keep building and strengthening relationships with and between providers
This market engagement event will be held on Thursday 26th February at 1-5pm at Woolwich Town Hall.
This market engagement event will be presented for both:
NextGen Youth Services: 1-3pm
NextGen SHaW (School-aged Health and Wellbeing): 3-5pm
Providers are encouraged to attend both events as the services will be expected to work closely as part of the wider NextGen Greenwich model.
