Description:

Maidstone Borough Council (“the Council”) invites tenders from suitably qualified and
experienced organisations to provide recruitment, selection, and governance services to
establish the Park Wood & Senacre Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board. This commission
includes the appointment of an Independent Chair and the formation of a representative,
community-led Board.
The Park Wood and Senacre Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) has been selected to participate
in the UK Government’s Pride in Place Programme. This comprises a 10-year, £20 million
endowment-style investment aimed at revitalising local neighbourhoods. As defined in the
Government’s Pride in Place Prospectus, the programme shifts power away from traditional
public sector structures, placing strategic decision-making directly in the hands of local residents
and stakeholders
The programme is built upon three core objectives:
• Building Thriving Places: Revitalising high streets, community assets, and physical
infrastructure to create vibrant, welcoming neighbourhoods.
• Strengthening Communities: Restoring the social fabric by improving social
infrastructure and fostering a collective sense of belonging.
• Taking Back Control: Empowering residents to take direct ownership of their area’s
future through a community-led governance model.
