Description
Rossendale Borough Council is seeking a suitably experienced organisation to act as a Community Grants Service Provider for the Pride in Place Programme covering Rawtenstall, Waterfoot and Crawshawbooth. The successful Provider will design, deliver and administer a four‑year capital Community Grants Programme with a total capital value of £180,000. The programme will support community‑led capital projects that contribute to regeneration, placemaking and community wellbeing. The Provider will be responsible for all programme management and administration, including community engagement; pre‑application advice and guidance; support during the application and assessment process; management of transparent and fair grant decision‑making processes; grant agreements; payment scheduling; monitoring; evaluation; reporting; and stakeholder liaison. The Council will provide a total of £30,000 (excluding VAT) over the four‑year contract period to cover the Provider's programme management and administration costs. This is the total estimated contract value. The £180,000 capital grant funding does not form part of the contract value and will be distributed separately to successful community applicants. This is an open procurement conducted under Section 19 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will be awarded on the basis of the Most Advantageous Tender.
