About

Leicestershire County Council awarded a contract to Voluntary Action LeicesterShire for the provision of a countywide infrastructure organisation providing effective and targeted support for the voluntary and community sector in Leicestershire.

The contract, valued at £1,375,000, includes support services responsive to local need, such as an online offer, training programmes, locally based support, and an up-to-date database of local VCSE organisations.

The support focuses on promoting, developing, and supporting volunteering; influencing and enabling the local VCSE voice; capacity building for new and existing VCSE groups; and market development and shaping, including support for VCSE groups to bid for and deliver contracts.

The services support the implementation of the Leicestershire Communities Strategy and Strategic Plan, assist the Council in managing demand through early/community-level intervention and prevention, increase community resilience, and contribute to the Prevention Target Operating Model.

The contract is for an initial period of 2 years, with an option to extend for up to a total of 36 months, taking the maximum term to 5 years.
