We provide resources, advocacy, and national coordination for our 180 members, including 18 organisations within NHS England’s South West Region. Our members play a critical role in supporting voluntary and community action by linking hundreds of thousands of local charities, voluntary groups, and social enterprises, ensuring they thrive and deliver essential community services. NAVCA was one of NHS England’s learning and development partner, in its "Embedding the VCSE in ICSs" programme and supporting in the co-design the Quality Development Tool. Since 2021 we have facilitated a national Peer Network that brings ICS and VCSE leaders together to share insights and best practices, ensuring that learning from system experiences informs national policy and system-wide improvements. This network has now evolved with NAVCA supporting the set up and providing the ongoing secretariate function for Alliance42; the new national network of VCSE Alliances working with Integrated Care Systems across England, helping to drive collaboration, share best practice, and influence system development. NAVCA acts as a national enabler of VCSE participation, supporting Alliances to engage across neighbourhood, place, system, and regional levels. Our role is not just to facilitate conversations, but to build capacity, strengthen influence, and ensure the VCSE sector helps shape system design and national policy direction. The Need NHS England’s South West Regional Team has a well-established peer network for VCSE Alliances across the region’s seven Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). Since July 2024, NAVCA has independently facilitated the network, with NHSE SW VCSE leads as welcomed participants; a unique arrangement nationally. NAVCA also plays a critical role in sharing insights from the network across regional and national forums, strengthening its impact. While the operating environment remains uncertain, the role of the VCSE sector in health transformation will only grow. As systems deliver the three NHS shifts, strengthen neighbourhood health, and evolve strategic commissioning, the VCSE sector’s role as convenor, partner, and innovator is essential. There is increasing demand on the network to share insight, foster connections, and co-develop solutions to regional delivery challenges. Healthy neighborhoods are recognised as a foundation for long-term improvement, and investing in the VCSE sector continues to deliver strong social and economic value. Structured, independent facilitation will be vital to support the South West’s ambitions for system transformation. However, NAVCA’s support goes beyond event facilitation, enabling VCSE Alliances to contribute to regional priorities through co-production, influence, and shared delivery of transformation initiatives. Over the next three years, facilitation will: • Work towards a sustainable model for VCSE Alliance engagement post-2028... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/voluntary-community-and-social-enterprise-collaboration-services-ocds-h6vhtk-060a38) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 79410000 ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** 1 (active) - Supplier(s): **National Association for Voluntary and Community Action (NAVCA)** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-172010` - Value: £45,339 † (exc.
