Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice is seeking proposals for a Strategic Grant aimed at providing Infrastructure Support for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations from 2022 to 2025. This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically related to prison services. The tender is currently in the active stage of the open procurement process, with applications open until 6th December 2021. The total available funding for this grant is £1,650,000, which will support Third Sector organisations that engage with the Criminal Justice System across the United Kingdom and other specified regions.

This grant presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on social impact, particularly for those operating within the VCSE sector and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies specialising in providing services that enhance community engagement, income generation, and policy development within the criminal justice context will be particularly well-suited to compete for this funding. The initiative aims to strengthen the infrastructure of the VCSE sector, thus enabling organisations to play a more effective role in reducing re-offending and supporting individuals within the system.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Strategic Grant - Infrastructure Support for VCSE organisations (2022 - 2025)

Notice Description

****THIS IS FOR GRANT FUNDING AND NOT A CONTRACT*** The purpose of this grant is to support the VCSE Sector in developing its role in reducing re-offending by providing it with practical resources, up to date information on key Criminal Justice developments, and support with income generation. The infrastructure grant addresses three central issues: - practical support for the voluntary sector; - improved communications to and from the sector; and - developing strategic engagement with the sector on matters of policy. The VCSE Infrastructure Grant provides vital support to Third Sector organisations engaged with the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales. The grant enables effective engagement and co-production with the sector, including with those specialist and niche providers whose involvement is key to ensuring that the men, women and children in our care are effectively supported.
