    Brief

    Thurrock Council is conducting market engagement to gather feedback from organisations experienced in school and community food growing, horticultural education, and community capacity-building. The Council successfully delivered a pilot programme during 2025/26 across 5 schools and one community setting, helping participants develop food growing skills, access green spaces, strengthen community connections, and improve health and wellbeing outcomes. The Council now plans to expand this programme to additional areas with greatest need and potential to reduce health inequalities. This exercise seeks to understand potential suppliers' capacity, capability, and interest in delivery; identify participation barriers; and inform the future service model and procurement approach. Interested organisations should have demonstrable experience in school and community food growing initiatives and community engagement. Contract value, start date and end date will be confirmed following this market engagement phase.
