Community Builders Service · UK public procurement notice

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is seeking to award a contract for the provision of a

Community Builder Service in Southend-on-Sea.

The Community builders will “walk the streets” in chosen neighbourhoods in the four

Localities in Southend-on-Sea and undertake strength based conversations with residents.

They will identify community connectors who could carry these conversations out in their

networks.

The Southend 2050 Ambition has been co-created with residents, local groups, partners and

businesses. The outcomes cannot be effectively delivered only by The Council. As the

process moves to co-designing proposals, co- production and delivery engaged and

empowered citizens and partners are required to make the outcomes a reality.

The Community Builders service is key to delivering the Southend 2050 outcomes and the

Community Builders will rebuild residents and communities trust in their own strengths and

assets and for connections to be made between residents. In turn residents will link up

around their very local priorities to develop projects and activities to address them.
