A significant meeting for interested parties is scheduled for 10 am on Monday, 13 May 2019, at the Council Chamber located at 52 Derby Street, Ormskirk, Lancashire, L39 2DF, where the Council will discuss their vision and invite feedback from local organisations. Interested parties must pre-book their attendance by contacting Susan Griffiths via email or phone before the engagement end date of 13 May 2019. This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for voluntary and community sector organisations, particularly those that are familiar with grant funding processes and community service delivery. Businesses that are well-suited to compete may include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) focused on enhancing community welfare and addressing local needs. Engaging in this process not only allows businesses to contribute to the local community but also positions them to secure funding that can support their operations and growth within the region. ## Notice This exercise is suitable for SME and VCSE Organisations despite what it says above.West Lancashire Borough Council currently provides around PS136,000 of funding per year to voluntary organisations across the Borough. The Council is keen to maximise the community benefit for every pound awarded, and with this in mind has embarked upon a detailed review of how grant funding is dispensed, ranging from the overarching strategy and work streams to detailed work on the processes of provider selection and monitoring of outcomes. To assist with this review, interested voluntary organisations are invited to a meeting where the Council will present our vision and plans, and invite comment and discussion around the table to enable voluntary organisations to contribute to our understanding of the issues they face in responding to commissioning initiatives, and to help shape the way forward. The meeting will be held in the Council Chamber at our Ormskirk site 52 Derby Street , Ormskirk, Lancashire L39 2DF. at 10 am on Monday 13 May 2019, and will last for around 1 hour 30 minutes. Please pre-book your attendance by contacting Susan Griffiths at Susan.Griffiths@westlancs.gov.uk or telephone 01695 585097 . We look forward to meeting you and hearing your views.
