PiPP is investing in 284 places across the UK to support regeneration, civic participation, and community leadership. The local delivery model for PiPP centres the power of local people and partnerships, bringing together residents, the local MP, councils, businesses, and community organisations to produce a clear vision for their area through the establishment of a Neighbourhood Board. The Neighbourhood Board is responsible for producing the 10-year vision for a place, supported by interventions which are set out in their Plan. Neighbourhoods will decide how to prioritise funding, based on extensive community engagement.\nThe Network is being developed as part of the support offer for Neighbourhood Boards and community leaders (as the end customer/user), aiming to build lasting community capacity and support inclusive, locally-led change. This will be in addition to the support already in place from MHCLG's Communities Delivery Unit, which provides a designated 'point person' to each place who provides direct ongoing support, helps places to interpret guidance, and builds connections into government. The Network aims will be to: \n•\tProvide Neighbourhood Boards with access to bespoke advice and guidance to support community-led regeneration\n•\tEnable strong community leadership, facilitating identification of current and future leaders, and equipping them with the skills, tools and confidence to drive change through inclusive engagement and effective community organising\n•\tSupport peer learning and share good practice, including through events and a new digital platform\n•\tAmplify opportunities to 'crowd in' funders to create a multiplier effect by drawing in additional funding\nMHCLG are considering options to work with external delivery partners to deliver the first three aims, i.e.: \n•\tbespoke advice and guidance to support community-led regeneration; \n•\tsupporting strong community leadership and engagement through capacity building activities; and \n•\tfacilitating a network of good practice and peer learning, including through digital solutions.\nFurther details on the proposed requirements and scope will be included in the Pre-Market Engagement document available via email request (commercialtenders@communities.gov.uk)", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "71000000", "description": "Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "72000000", "description": "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "75200000", "description": "Provision of services to the community" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "79000000", "description": "Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "80500000", "description": "Training services" } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UK", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "value": { "amountGross": 11940000, "amount": 9950000, "currency": "GBP" }, "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": true, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "suitability": { "sme": true, "vcse": true }, "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2026-09-01T00:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2029-08-31T23:59:59+01:00" }, "status": "planning" } ], "status": "planning" }, "language": "en", "extensions": [ "https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/latest/en/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_amendment_rationale_classifications_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_budget_breakdown_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_contract_completion_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_documentation_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_pagination_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_suitability_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portaledcahn/ocds_Links_extension/main/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cabinetoffice/ocds_uk_extension/main/extension.json" ] }, { "id": "047259-2026", "tag": [ "planning" ], "date": "2026-05-21T15:32:44+01:00", "initiationType": "tender", "planning": { "documents": [ { "id": "047259-2026", "documentType": "plannedProcurementNotice", "noticeType": "UK1", "description": "Pipeline notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047259-2026", "datePublished": "2026-05-21T15:32:44+01:00", "format": "text/html" } ] }, "ocid": "ocds-h6vhtk-0658a8", "parties": [ { "name": "Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government", "id": "GB-PPON-PWCX-8281-CLPR", "identifier": { "scheme": "GB-PPON", "id": "PWCX-8281-CLPR" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "2 Marsham Street", "locality": "London United Kingdom", "postalCode": "SW1P 4DF", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom", "region": "UKI32" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "commercial@communities.gov.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "classifications": [ { "scheme": "UK_CA_TYPE", "id": "publicAuthorityCentralGovernment", "description": "Public authority - central government" } ] } } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-PPON-PWCX-8281-CLPR", "name": "Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government" }, "tender": { "id": "CPD4130038", "legalBasis": { "id": "2023/54", "scheme": "UKPGA", "uri": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" }, "title": "Delivery of the Network for Neighbourhoods", "description": "The Network is being developed as part of the support offer for Neighbourhood Boards and community leaders (as the end customer/user), aiming to build lasting community capacity and support inclusive, locally-led change.\nThe Network aims will be to:\n- Provide Neighbourhood Boards with access to bespoke advice and guidance to support community-led regeneration\n- Enable strong community leadership, facilitating identification of current and future leaders, and equipping them with the skills, tools and confidence to drive change through inclusive engagement and effective community organising\n- Support peer learning and share good practice, including through events and a new digital platform\nMHCLG requires a supplier to create and manage the Network, delivering a flexible programme of support and peer learning opportunities for Pride in Place Programme (PiPP) areas.

This notice constitutes a second phase of Preliminary Market Engagement (PME), following the PME exercise undertaken in Spring 2026. This notice should be read in conjunction with the information provided through that earlier PME exercise. Details of the previous PME exercise can be found at the link to the previous PME Notice. \nTo request a copy of the 'Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) document' and associated supplier networking information relevant to the previous PME exercise, please email:\ncommercialtenders@communities.gov.uk by 5pm on Tuesday 28th July 2026. \nThe scope and objectives of the proposed Network for Neighbourhoods procurement remain largely unchanged from those set out in the original PME. This updated PME acknowledges two material changes: \n(1) the proposed inclusion of Early Adopters requirements (as further detailed below and reflected in the estimated contract value); and \n(2) a change to the procurement timeline which now envisages commencement of the competition at the end of July or in early August 2026, with contract signature anticipated by mid/late November 2026 and mobilisation completed by mid/late February 2027. These dates are indicative and subject to change. \nThe estimated maximum value of the Initial Period of the Contract (i.e. to 31st March 2029) is £13.03M NET of VAT. MHCLG shall reserve the right to extend the Contract by up to 12 months (i.e. from 1st April 2029 to 31st March 2030). The maximum value of any Extension Period is NOT included in the estimated contract value above, and shall be subject to further MHCLG budgetary approvals and confirmed at the appropriate time. Regardless, MHCLG cannot guarantee any extension.\nMHCLG intends to use responses from this PME to help validate market appetite, test the impact of integrating the Early Adopters requirement into the proposed Network for Neighbourhoods contract, and inform final procurement planning and competition design.\nTo that end, please consider and respond to the questions below, where applicable, so that we can inform our procurement planning. Please respond by email to:\n commercialtenders@communities.gov.uk, by 5pm Tuesday 28th July 2026, ensuring to insert \"CPD4130038 - Network for Neighbourhoods PME\" into the subject header of the email. \nPlease DO NOT submit any other statements, material or questions, as MHCLG is unable to consider them or respond at this time.\nPlease note that participation in this market engagement exercise is not mandatory, and you are not required to disclose any commercially sensitive information beyond what is asked for. Responses to this exercise are for MHCLG information only, will be treated in strict confidence, and will not be carried forward or used in any way as part of any subsequent procurement.\nFurther detail on the Early Adopters project, which we are proposing to integrate into the Network for Neighbourhoods procurement is set out below. The Early Adopters element will form part of the overall Network for Neighbourhoods service requirement and will not be procured separately. Suppliers should assume that support to the identified Early Adopter areas will form part of the successful bidder's delivery obligations.\nADDITIONAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS - EARLY ADOPTERS\nThe Pride in Place Programme (PiPP) sets an expectation that all areas move towards a community-led delivery model by the end of Year 3 (2028/29). This is intended to build strong, sustainable community infrastructure capable of driving long-term change beyond the ten-year lifetime of programme funding.\nTo support this transition, 20 local authorities have been selected as 'Early Adopters', including up to thirty Neighbourhood Boards. These areas will move more quickly towards community-led delivery over the first three years, supported by a test, learn and grow approach that combines deep place-based support with structured peer learning. This will enable places to develop and refine effective approaches to community-led delivery, while generating practical learning and emerging blueprints to be shared through the Network for Neighbourhoods to strengthen delivery across the wider programme.\nTo progress at the required pace, each Early Adopter will require an intensive, tailored support package. This should include structured learning and development for Neighbourhood Board members, alongside support on governance, community engagement, relationship building and collective impact. It should also provide access to a community of practice, enabling places to share learning, build core capabilities and draw on specialist expertise.\nLearning from this work will be captured, synthesised and codified into practical tools, playbooks and evidence-based frameworks to support the wider transition to community-led delivery across PiPP.\nQUESTIONS\nIn consideration of the above information, please respond to the following questions where applicable:\nQuestion 1:\nOn the basis of information set out in this update, is the Network for Neighbourhoods a project your organisation will likely express an interest in participating in, either as a Prime Supplier or Consortium Lead?\nPlease indicate: YES / NO\nIf 'no', please state reasons e.g., availability of bid resources; scope not aligned to work you are targeting; other. (max 250 words)\nor\nIf you are interested in participating, but not as a Prime Supplier or Consortium Lead, please also indicate 'no' and state the reasons that you are interested in participating as part of a supply chain / consortium. (max 250 words)\nQuestion 2:\nWhere you have responded 'yes' to Question 1, and in anticipation of your organisation's expected Prime / Lead status, has your organisation been exploring partnerships, consortium arrangements or subcontracting relationships to support delivery of the Network for Neighbourhoods?\nPlease indicate: YES / NO\nIf 'yes', please provide details of the types of organisations you have engaged with (max 250 words)\nIf 'no', please provide reasons (max 250 words)\nQuestion 3: \nIf you have responded 'no' to Question 1, and anticipate participating as part of a supply chain or consortium, but not as the Prime Supplier or Consortium Lead, have you identified a potential Prime Supplier / Consortium Lead?\nPlease indicate: YES / NO\nQuestion 4:\na) The updated delivery model includes integration of the Early Adopters project into the Network for Neighbourhoods procurement, as per the Additional Contract Requirements section above. Do you support the inclusion of Early Adopters within the scope of the proposed Network for Neighbourhoods contract?\nPlease indicate: YES / NO\nPlease provide supporting rationale for your answer (max 250 words).\nb) What do you see as the key opportunities and risks of incorporating the Early Adopters into the Network for Neighbourhoods procurement? In your response, please consider any commercial, delivery, contractual and operational implications that MHCLG should consider as part of final procurement design.

MHCLG currently intends to take forward up to the five highest scoring suppliers that have passed all mandatory qualification requirements and met the minimum threshold for the Technical Ability -Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question. However, where one or more additional Suppliers achieve the same score for the Technical Ability - Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question as the fifth-ranked Supplier, and have passed all mandatory qualification requirements and met the minimum threshold for the Technical Ability - Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question, all such Suppliers will also be shortlisted.\nResponses to the Technical Ability - Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question of the PSQ will be scored on a 0 to 4 scale: 0 - No relevant evidence / non-response; 1 - Limited evidence; 2 - Adequate evidence; 3 - Good evidence; and 4 - Strong evidence. Suppliers must achieve a minimum score of 2 for this question. A supplier that scores below 2 for this question will fail the question and will not proceed further in the procurement.

learning within MHCLG's flagship Pride in Place Programme (PiPP). PiPP is investing in 284 places across the UK to support regeneration, civic participation, and community leadership. The local delivery model for PiPP centres the power of local people and partnerships, bringing together residents, the local MP, councils, businesses, and community organisations to produce a clear vision for their area through the establishment of a Neighbourhood Board. The Neighbourhood Board is responsible for producing the 10-year vision for a place, supported by interventions which are set out in their Plan. Neighbourhoods will decide how to prioritise funding, based on extensive community engagement.\nThe Network is being developed as part of the support offer for Neighbourhood Boards and community leaders (as the end customer/user), aiming to build lasting community capacity and support inclusive, locally-led change. This will be in addition to the support already in place from MHCLG's Communities Delivery Unit, which provides a designated 'point person' to each place who provides direct ongoing support, helps places to interpret guidance, and builds connections into government. The Network aims will be to: \n•\tProvide Neighbourhood Boards with access to bespoke advice and guidance to support community-led regeneration\n•\tEnable strong community leadership, facilitating identification of current and future leaders, and equipping them with the skills, tools and confidence to drive change through inclusive engagement and effective community organising\n•\tSupport peer learning and share good practice, including through events and a new digital platform\n•\tAmplify opportunities to 'crowd in' funders to create a multiplier effect by drawing in additional funding\nMHCLG are considering options to work with external delivery partners to deliver the first three aims, i.e.: \n•\tbespoke advice and guidance to support community-led regeneration; \n•\tsupporting strong community leadership and engagement through capacity building activities; and \n•\tfacilitating a network of good practice and peer learning, including through digital solutions.\nFurther details on the proposed requirements and scope will be included in the Pre-Market Engagement document available via email request (commercialtenders@communities.gov.uk)" }, { "releaseID": "047259-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-21T15:32:44+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "The Network is being developed as part of the support offer for Neighbourhood Boards and community leaders (as the end customer/user), aiming to build lasting community capacity and support inclusive, locally-led change.\nThe Network aims will be to:\n- Provide Neighbourhood Boards with access to bespoke advice and guidance to support community-led regeneration\n- Enable strong community leadership, facilitating identification of current and future leaders, and equipping them with the skills, tools and confidence to drive change through inclusive engagement and effective community organising\n- Support peer learning and share good practice, including through events and a new digital platform\nMHCLG requires a supplier to create and manage the Network, delivering a flexible programme of support and peer learning opportunities for Pride in Place Programme (PiPP) areas.

This notice constitutes a second phase of Preliminary Market Engagement (PME), following the PME exercise undertaken in Spring 2026. This notice should be read in conjunction with the information provided through that earlier PME exercise. Details of the previous PME exercise can be found at the link to the previous PME Notice. \nTo request a copy of the 'Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) document' and associated supplier networking information relevant to the previous PME exercise, please email:\ncommercialtenders@communities.gov.uk by 5pm on Tuesday 28th July 2026. \nThe scope and objectives of the proposed Network for Neighbourhoods procurement remain largely unchanged from those set out in the original PME. This updated PME acknowledges two material changes: \n(1) the proposed inclusion of Early Adopters requirements (as further detailed below and reflected in the estimated contract value); and \n(2) a change to the procurement timeline which now envisages commencement of the competition at the end of July or in early August 2026, with contract signature anticipated by mid/late November 2026 and mobilisation completed by mid/late February 2027. These dates are indicative and subject to change. \nThe estimated maximum value of the Initial Period of the Contract (i.e. to 31st March 2029) is £13.03M NET of VAT. MHCLG shall reserve the right to extend the Contract by up to 12 months (i.e. from 1st April 2029 to 31st March 2030). The maximum value of any Extension Period is NOT included in the estimated contract value above, and shall be subject to further MHCLG budgetary approvals and confirmed at the appropriate time. Regardless, MHCLG cannot guarantee any extension.\nMHCLG intends to use responses from this PME to help validate market appetite, test the impact of integrating the Early Adopters requirement into the proposed Network for Neighbourhoods contract, and inform final procurement planning and competition design.\nTo that end, please consider and respond to the questions below, where applicable, so that we can inform our procurement planning. Please respond by email to:\n commercialtenders@communities.gov.uk, by 5pm Tuesday 28th July 2026, ensuring to insert \"CPD4130038 - Network for Neighbourhoods PME\" into the subject header of the email. \nPlease DO NOT submit any other statements, material or questions, as MHCLG is unable to consider them or respond at this time.\nPlease note that participation in this market engagement exercise is not mandatory, and you are not required to disclose any commercially sensitive information beyond what is asked for. Responses to this exercise are for MHCLG information only, will be treated in strict confidence, and will not be carried forward or used in any way as part of any subsequent procurement.\nFurther detail on the Early Adopters project, which we are proposing to integrate into the Network for Neighbourhoods procurement is set out below. The Early Adopters element will form part of the overall Network for Neighbourhoods service requirement and will not be procured separately. Suppliers should assume that support to the identified Early Adopter areas will form part of the successful bidder's delivery obligations.\nADDITIONAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS - EARLY ADOPTERS\nThe Pride in Place Programme (PiPP) sets an expectation that all areas move towards a community-led delivery model by the end of Year 3 (2028/29). This is intended to build strong, sustainable community infrastructure capable of driving long-term change beyond the ten-year lifetime of programme funding.\nTo support this transition, 20 local authorities have been selected as 'Early Adopters', including up to thirty Neighbourhood Boards. These areas will move more quickly towards community-led delivery over the first three years, supported by a test, learn and grow approach that combines deep place-based support with structured peer learning. This will enable places to develop and refine effective approaches to community-led delivery, while generating practical learning and emerging blueprints to be shared through the Network for Neighbourhoods to strengthen delivery across the wider programme.\nTo progress at the required pace, each Early Adopter will require an intensive, tailored support package. This should include structured learning and development for Neighbourhood Board members, alongside support on governance, community engagement, relationship building and collective impact. It should also provide access to a community of practice, enabling places to share learning, build core capabilities and draw on specialist expertise.\nLearning from this work will be captured, synthesised and codified into practical tools, playbooks and evidence-based frameworks to support the wider transition to community-led delivery across PiPP.\nQUESTIONS\nIn consideration of the above information, please respond to the following questions where applicable:\nQuestion 1:\nOn the basis of information set out in this update, is the Network for Neighbourhoods a project your organisation will likely express an interest in participating in, either as a Prime Supplier or Consortium Lead?\nPlease indicate: YES / NO\nIf 'no', please state reasons e.g., availability of bid resources; scope not aligned to work you are targeting; other. (max 250 words)\nor\nIf you are interested in participating, but not as a Prime Supplier or Consortium Lead, please also indicate 'no' and state the reasons that you are interested in participating as part of a supply chain / consortium. (max 250 words)\nQuestion 2:\nWhere you have responded 'yes' to Question 1, and in anticipation of your organisation's expected Prime / Lead status, has your organisation been exploring partnerships, consortium arrangements or subcontracting relationships to support delivery of the Network for Neighbourhoods?\nPlease indicate: YES / NO\nIf 'yes', please provide details of the types of organisations you have engaged with (max 250 words)\nIf 'no', please provide reasons (max 250 words)\nQuestion 3: \nIf you have responded 'no' to Question 1, and anticipate participating as part of a supply chain or consortium, but not as the Prime Supplier or Consortium Lead, have you identified a potential Prime Supplier / Consortium Lead?\nPlease indicate: YES / NO\nQuestion 4:\na) The updated delivery model includes integration of the Early Adopters project into the Network for Neighbourhoods procurement, as per the Additional Contract Requirements section above. Do you support the inclusion of Early Adopters within the scope of the proposed Network for Neighbourhoods contract?\nPlease indicate: YES / NO\nPlease provide supporting rationale for your answer (max 250 words).\nb) What do you see as the key opportunities and risks of incorporating the Early Adopters into the Network for Neighbourhoods procurement? In your response, please consider any commercial, delivery, contractual and operational implications that MHCLG should consider as part of final procurement design. (max 250 words).\nWe appreciate your attention and response to this second phase of pre-market engagement." }, { "releaseID": "081335-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-08-26T13:53:08+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "MHCLG is seeking to award a contract for the provision of services for Network for Neighbourhoods.

MHCLG will first assess the Qualification Envelope and apply the published PSQ shortlisting methodology in relation to the Technical Ability - Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question. Only the Technical and Commercial Envelopes of shortlisted Suppliers will then be assessed against the Award Criteria.\nSuppliers must pass all eligibility questions, exclusion checks and pass/fail conditions of participation in the Qualification Envelope and Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ), except where MHCLG has specified that it may exercise discretion.

Suppliers that do not pass the applicable qualification requirements, or do not meet the minimum threshold for the Technical Ability -Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question, will not proceed to full assessment of the Technical Envelope and Commercial Envelope.\nThe Technical Ability - Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question of the PSQ will be scored and used, alongside the other pass/fail qualification requirements, to determine which suppliers proceed to full assessment of the Technical Envelope and Commercial Envelope. MHCLG currently intends to take forward up to the five highest scoring suppliers that have passed all mandatory qualification requirements and met the minimum threshold for the Technical Ability -Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question. However, where one or more additional Suppliers achieve the same score for the Technical Ability - Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question as the fifth-ranked Supplier, and have passed all mandatory qualification requirements and met the minimum threshold for the Technical Ability - Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question, all such Suppliers will also be shortlisted.\nResponses to the Technical Ability - Relevant Experience and Contract Examples question of the PSQ will be scored on a 0 to 4 scale: 0 - No relevant evidence / non-response; 1 - Limited evidence; 2 - Adequate evidence; 3 - Good evidence; and 4 - Strong evidence. Suppliers must achieve a minimum score of 2 for this question. A supplier that scores below 2 for this question will fail the question and will not proceed further in the procurement.
