Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office is currently initiating the Modern Slavery Innovation Fund Phase 2, aiming to distribute a total of £5 million for innovative projects addressing modern slavery. This funding is intended for Official Development Assistance (ODA) eligible projects, with individual proposals ideally ranging from £300,000 to £800,000. The deadline for submission is set for 28 November 2018, with project implementations expected to span from April 2019 through to March 2021. Proposals must be submitted via the Crown Commercial Services eSourcing portal, and interested parties must ensure they are registered suppliers and have a valid DUNS number prior to submission.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector entities, that specialise in social innovation, technology development, or support services related to human rights and anti-trafficking measures. Companies capable of leveraging technology to enhance project outcomes or those focusing on child sexual exploitation are particularly encouraged to apply. Engaging in this initiative not only supports the fight against modern slavery but also positions businesses as key players in a critical social issue, offering potential for growth and collaboration in the sector.
