Notice Title

Notice Description

This contract will form a key part of our Health Equality funding. In July 2020, following an EC decision, we provided an additional 14 development grants to partnerships who had applied to the Healthy Communities Together (HCT) programme. During this development grant period and in order to maximise our learning, we provided them with a Support and Learning Contract. As well as supporting the grant holders in this programme, we will also look to bring on board new and existing projects from our responsive and other funding streams to connect with relevant grantees, join events and share learning. Some of these projects will have their own learning elements and we expect any bidder to work closely with other organisations, to build on and complement their work and not overburden any of our grant holders or duplicate other learning activity. For example, the HCT programme where grant holders receive expert support from The King's Fund and Connecting Health Communities by the Institute for Voluntary Action Research (IVAR).

Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract will form a key part of our Health Equality funding. In July 2020, following an EC decision, we provided an additional 14 development grants to partnerships who had applied to the Healthy Communities Together (HCT) programme. During this development grant period and in order to maximise our learning, we provided them with a Support and Learning Contract. Bidders will be expected to provide a range of activities to support grant holders to learn from each other, capture practical learning and disseminate it to a wider audience therefore maximising our investment in this area. As well as supporting the grant holders in this programme, we will also look to bring on board new and existing projects from our responsive and other funding streams to connect with relevant grantees, join events and share learning. Some of these projects will have their own learning elements and we expect any bidder to work closely with other organisations, to build on and complement their work and not overburden any of our grant holders or duplicate other learning activity. For example, the HCT programme where grant holders receive expert support from The King's Fund and Connecting Health Communities by the Institute for Voluntary Action Research (IVAR). The early learning from the initial nine-month Learning and Support contract has helped inform the scoping of the second phase on this work. Activities for Phase Two will focus on four key areas: Support to grant holders through peer support learning activities, communities of practices, etc offering both informal support as well as opportunities to engage in structured reflective spaces. Linking and connecting wider through networking and events with opportunities to bring in experts with specialist knowledge and learning on areas such as tackling inequalities developing partnerships, joint working approaches, etc. helping build grant holders storytelling capability and developing influencing skills connecting/hearing from other projects (and Funders) in their local areas addressing health inequalities Further information available in the tender documentation Outputs (formal and informal materials), e.g., Learning papers, reports, blogs, webinars, practical tools and materials, case studies, etc. Comms and Dissemination activities, e.g., via roundtables, conferences/workshops, etc
