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. The Council will provide a total of PS30,000 (excluding VAT) over the four-year contract period to cover the Provider's programme management and administration costs.
