Summary of the contracting process

The Government Equalities Office is inviting bids for the "LGBT Sector and Community Development Scheme," which aims to support small LGBT voluntary, community, and charity organisations in England. The scheme commences on 14th January 2019 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2020. This open procurement process features a total budget of £600,000, with £400,000 earmarked for grant distribution and £200,000 for administering the programme and delivering training. The tender period will close on 7th December 2018.

This opportunity is particularly advantageous for businesses with experience in capacity building and training within the voluntary and community sector, especially those focused on LGBT community support. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, given the emphasis on fostering sustainable growth for local LGBT services and initiatives. Engaging in this procurement could significantly enhance their visibility and operational capabilities in this sector.

Notice Title

LGBT Sector and Community Development Scheme

Notice Description

The Government Equalities Office is seeking to appoint an organisation to deliver an "LGBT Sector and Community Development Scheme". The scheme will run from January 2019 to March 2020. The scope of the scheme is England only. The successful organisation(s) will do two things: 1. administer a grant scheme, distributing grants to small LGBT voluntary, community and charity sector groups and organisations 2. deliver a range of skills development and training interventions to the same grant funding recipient organisations to help them scale, mature and operate more effectively The grant scheme is worth PS400,000 (inclusive of any VAT). In addition, up to PS200,000 (inclusive of VAT) is available to administer the grant scheme and to design and deliver the skills development and training interventions. We expect most of this to be used to design and deliver the latter interventions. The grant scheme's objective is to support community groups and small charitable organisations to deliver locally based interventions that support and increase the visibility of LGBT people, addressing the findings from the national LGBT survey. These interventions are likely to include things like Pride events and local youth groups. Any grant-funding recipient organisation would have to commit to taking part in the skills development and training interventions that the successful organisation will design and deliver. The objective for these interventions is to help the grant-funding recipient organisations to understand how to mature, scale and operate themselves more effectively so that they are sustainable over time. The successful organisation will have existing knowledge of both England's LGBT voluntary, community and charity sector groups and organisations, as well as expertise in capability and capacity building within the voluntary, community and charity sector.
