The Scottish Government is seeking expressions of interest from organisations who would like to participate as a pilot project for the "Better Community Engagement: Development of a learning programme to support and improve practice in engaging with communities". The Scottish Government is seeking between 6 and 10 projects from different contexts in community engagement, to participate in this work.

An information pack for the "Better Community Engagement: Development of a Learning Programme to Support and Improve Practice in Engaging with Communities" is available.

If you would like to considered to participate as a pilot project, please complete and return the Expression of Interest Form, to Wendy-Louise Smith, by Friday 27 March.

A copy of the form is included at the back of the information pack, so if you are circulating it, people will be able to see the information that we need. The form is also available as a separate document here.

It is estimated that the appointed contractors will start this work in mid-April. All projects submitting an expression of interest will be notified by Friday 8 May as to whether they have been selected to participate in this work or not. It is expected that work with the local demonstration projects and the contractor will have started before mid-June.

Please note that these timings are estimates: the Scottish Government are currently going through the tendering process to appoint the contractor and may need to adjust their schedule. All projects submitting an expression of interest will be kept informed of progress.
