Community Grants Service Provider (Pride in Place Programme)
Notice Description
Rossendale Borough Council is seeking a suitably experienced organisation to act as a Community Grants Service Provider for the Pride in Place Programme covering Rawtenstall, Waterfoot and Crawshawbooth. The successful Provider will design, deliver and administer a four-year capital Community Grants Programme with a total capital value of PS180,000. The programme will support community-led capital projects that contribute to regeneration, placemaking and community wellbeing. The Provider will be responsible for all programme management and administration, including community engagement; pre-application advice and guidance; support during the application and assessment process; management of transparent and fair grant decision-making processes; grant agreements; payment scheduling; monitoring; evaluation; reporting; and stakeholder liaison.

This is an open procurement conducted under Section 19 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will be awarded on the basis of the Most Advantageous Tender.
