Description

The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) is seeking to appoint suitable service providers to a Framework Agreement in relation to the utilisation and transformation of communal green spaces. The Agreement design is intended to support the aspirations of Community Wealth Building (CWB). CWB seeks to transform our local and regional economic systems to enable local communities and people to own, have a greater stake in, access and benefit from the wealth our economy generates. The Council is committed to adopting a CWB approach to its work wherever possible. In order to build on and recognise the importance and investment of local community groups, third sector organisations and not for profit groups the Council is introducing a budget dedicated to a new Community Led Improvement Programme (CLIP). This Framework Agreement shall be limited to Service Providers who support a volunteer network as part of their organisational activities and is anticipated to be of interest primarily to the third sector. Through the CLIP, the Council intends to support local and third sector organisations and keep some wealth in the local economy, empowering communities to influence their local areas.
