What is the Right to Challenge?

The Right to Challenge empowers community organisations, charities or Town/Parish Councils to bid to run council services, where they believe they can run them better.

The Council will hold 'Challenge Rounds' every year to enable relevant groups to submit Challenges to the Council, to take on the running of local services. If a Challenge is accepted, it will trigger an open procurement process for any bidder to win the contract to deliver the service.
