Invitation to tender: Community wealth building learning partnership

Summary

We are seeking a learning partner with the expertise to help us understand the impact, models, and frameworks that can strengthen our role in enabling community wealth building in Lambeth and Southwark. Our work on Community Wealth Building explores whether improving access to wealth building opportunities, particularly through community ownership of land, can improve health outcomes.

The learning partner will be central to capturing and analysing insights from our portfolio partnerships. They will help us understand how these projects are enabling wealth building for Black and racialised communities, and how they are currently, or potentially, affecting health outcomes. The role includes gathering existing insights, conducting data collection, and analysing findings that address our key learning objectives.

These insights will support ongoing learning and improvement, and lead to a set of deliverables that will inform our foundation’s strategy on community ownership and wealth building, including its potential for replication and scale.

Submission deadline: 15 September 2025 at midday.

Budget and time

The total budget for this learning partnership is £80,000, including expenses and VAT. The duration of the learning partnership is 30 months. This accounts for a learning partner’s involvement through the remainder lifespan of the community wealth building area of investigation.

We expect the learning partnership to begin in October 2025 following the appointment of the successful learning partner.
