## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is currently conducting a tender for the "GRANT - Women's Community Sector Core Costs Funding (2020 - 2021)" aimed at enhancing community-based provision for female offenders across England and Wales. This initiative includes twelve lots, with a total funding pool of up to £2,500,000 available for successful applicants. Interested parties must submit their bids by 10th August 2020, and the contract period is set to commence on 20th November 2020, concluding on 31st March 2021. The procurement method employed for this process is classified as a Competitive Grant, within the industry category of prison services.

This funding opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in social services, particularly those focusing on women's support and rehabilitation programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are highly encouraged to participate, as the grants are designed to cover core costs rather than fund specific commissioned services. Organisations capable of demonstrating effective frameworks for supporting female offenders will find this tender especially suited to their strengths, enabling them to expand their operations and impact within the sector.
