Summary of the contracting process

Rossendale Borough Council commissioned a service provider to run the Pride in Place Community Grants Programme for Rawtenstall, Waterfoot and Crawshawbooth. The service covers promoting and administering a capital community grants programme, supporting applicants, assessing applications, carrying out due diligence, monitoring delivery, engaging stakeholders, and providing reporting and governance support. The provider will administer grant funding and support community-led capital projects contributing to regeneration, placemaking and community wellbeing. This is a public-sector community and social services opportunity, including community action programme activity, delivered across the council’s area in Lancashire. The buying organisation is Rossendale Borough Council, based at Futures Park in Bacup. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Burnley, Pendle & Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service. It used a below-threshold open competition for one lot. Five bids were received, all from SMEs and VCSEs. The award was made on 19 June 2026 for £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT), with an awarded period from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2030. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026, became active on 6 August 2026 and runs until 31 March 2030, at £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). Evaluation weighted delivery and quality at 60%, governance, risk and compliance at 15%, social value at 15%, and price at 10%.

This procurement shows demand for an organisation able to manage community grant programmes from promotion through to monitoring and governance. A credible future supplier would need a clear methodology for applicant support, grant assessment, due diligence, financial and legal compliance, risk management, stakeholder engagement, reporting and oversight of funded projects. Experience delivering community, regeneration, placemaking or wellbeing programmes would be directly relevant, alongside the capacity to administer capital grant funding and support community-led delivery. Strong governance and financial controls would matter, as would the ability to demonstrate value for money and transparent costs. Social value capability is important: relevant commitments include local employment and training, local supply chains, environmental sustainability, and support for young people or community organisations. The requirement is accessible to SMEs and VCSEs.
