Summary of the contracting process

West Lancashire Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of a tender process for "Funding for Voluntary Organisations," which aims to allocate approximately £136,000 in annual funding to support local voluntary organisations within the North West region of England. A significant meeting for interested parties is scheduled for 10 am on Monday, 13 May 2019, at the Council Chamber located at 52 Derby Street, Ormskirk, Lancashire, L39 2DF, where the Council will discuss their vision and invite feedback from local organisations. Interested parties must pre-book their attendance by contacting Susan Griffiths via email or phone before the engagement end date of 13 May 2019.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for voluntary and community sector organisations, particularly those that are familiar with grant funding processes and community service delivery. Businesses that are well-suited to compete may include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) focused on enhancing community welfare and addressing local needs. Engaging in this process not only allows businesses to contribute to the local community but also positions them to secure funding that can support their operations and growth within the region.
