This procurement is classified under guidance and counselling services and has a total budget of £2.8 million, with £1.4 million available for each of the financial years 2020/21 and 2021/22. The tender period ends on 12 August 2020, with the contract commencing on 13 August 2020 and concluding on 1 April 2022. This procurement is managed through a grants competition process using the Home Office’s eSourcing portal, where organisations must register to submit their bids. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses, particularly those in the social and community services sector, including SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. The successful proposals should aim to promote best practices and enhance the quality of support for affected children and young people, making it ideal for organisations specialising in guidance and counselling services. Bidders should consider the specific objectives of the fund while preparing their submissions to ensure alignment with the fund's goals and enhance their chance of success. ## Notice The Home Office is seeking to award grant funding to statutory or non-statutory sector organisations in England and Wales working to promote and embed best practice in the provision of support to children and young people who have experienced sexual abuse. Through the CSA Support Services Transformation Fund we will provide grants to successful bidders, paid under the government's grant-making powers. We are looking to award up to PS2.8m across England and Wales by the end of the 2021-22 financial year (PS1.4m is available in financial year 2020/21 and PS1.4m in 2021/22). In making a final decision on allocation of this funding, the Home Office will ensure that an appropriate distribution of projects is funded in terms of type of intervention and the groups of children and young people who will be beneficiaries. While there is no formal cap on the amount an organisation can bid for, bidders should consider this when deciding upon the size of grant they will be applying for. Successful proposals must contribute to the achievement of the overall objectives of the fund, which are: 1) To promote and disseminate best practice in the provision of support to help children and young people cope with and, as far as possible, recover from sexual abuse. 2) To improve the quality of support available to children and young people who have experienced sexual abuse. 3) To build understanding of what works to support children and young people who have experienced sexual abuse. Please note the full description of this grant funding competition can be found in the attachment to this notice.
