What is being bought

The third sector infrastructure and representation plays a vital role in supporting frontline organisations, helping to ensure the sustainability and resilience of a thriving sector that can adapt to emerging challenges and opportunities. This service is aimed at encompasses leadership and representation, partnership and collaboration, capacity building, and volunteering. Together, these elements not only strengthen the sector's foundations but also enable meaningful engagement with the Council, health and care and city partners, ensuring that third sector voices help shape the city's strategic direction. Infrastructure support specifically targets the development of smaller third sector organisations, those based in disadvantaged wards, and groups that are often excluded or underrepresented. The funding will also promote and enable positive social action, helping to build empowered, inclusive, and thriving local communities. It will support organisations rooted in both place and shared interest to generate social value and drive change from within

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 98. The category anchor is Other community, social and personal services (98000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
