This collaboration brings together agencies that deliver public services (the Borough and Parish and Town Councils, Thames Valley Police, Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, Bracknell Forest Homes) with businesses and people that represent voluntary organisations and the community.
One of the priorities of the Partnership is to develop engaged and empowered communities by offering local people the opportunity to have a say about decisions and services, and provide genuine opportunities for people to be involved.
The Council also carries out regular consultation with residents and service users as well as surveys of its staff members, with the key objective of ensuring that the information provided is used to improve the way we work.
So that these needs can be met, the Council is looking to put in place a framework agreement for the provision of community consultation and engagement services.
The appointed Service Provider will carry out the following under the terms of the framework to be put in place:
Conduct the Council’s staff survey usually biennially
Conduct the Council’s residents survey biennially
Conduct any other surveys, focus groups, research, interviews and other engagement activity on a call off basis by the Council or any other member of the Bracknell Forest Partnership.
The appointed provider may also be required to manage and refresh the Bracknell Forest 1500 resident’s panel.
