🛠️ Focus: Community platforms, learning ecosystems, Salesforce integration, accessibility-by-design
🤝 Approach: Agile, collaborative, values-led partnership

Pilotlight invites proposals from senior, mission-aligned digital partners to design and build our Digital Community & Learning Hub - a cornerstone of our ambition to become a system-changing platform for the social sector.

This is not a conventional technology procurement. It is an invitation to form a strategic partnership at a pivotal moment in Pilotlight’s evolution.

We are seeking a partner who understands that digital platforms are not just delivery mechanisms, but powerful enablers of human connection, learning, equity and long-term impact. The successful partner will work alongside our leadership and staff teams to co-create a platform that strengthens charities, mobilises skilled volunteers at scale, and builds enduring communities of practice across sectors.

This Request for Proposal (RFP) sets out our ambition, strategic context and core requirements. It is intentionally not over-prescriptive. We welcome partners who bring insight, challenge and innovation - and who are motivated by the opportunity to contribute to meaningful, system-level change.
