Cambridge City Council awarded a contract to AchieveGood for research exploring how social issues in Cambridge could be tackled through creating a place-based social impact investment and blended finance organisation or fund.

The research, jointly commissioned with the It Takes a City Community Land Trust (ITAC CLT), outlined options and organisational funding models and processes needed to enable this, aiming to build capability and resilience with partners and local communities to achieve social outcomes and demonstrate investment impact.

The findings were intended to inform the council's future organisation design and partnership working.

The first phase was to be delivered in not more than 4 months, with a potential second phase based on outcomes.

The contract value was £50,000.
