## Summary

Worcestershire County Council is spearheading the COM25090 Worcestershire Match Funding Programme, aimed at revitalising local communities through grant funding. Located in Worcester, the council has allocated £100,000 for 2025 in small grants to community groups and charities, in collaboration with Worcestershire Community Foundation Limited. This programme, under the services industry category, falls under the "lightTouch" regime and was executed through a direct procurement method without competition, in line with its public authority classification. The procurement stage of this initiative is completed, with the contract having been signed on 1st April 2025 and scheduled to run until 31st March 2026.

This tender represents a prime opportunity for businesses specialising in community services to engage in impactful work that supports regional development. Large-scale organisations, particularly those within the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, are in an advantageous position to leverage this procurement process. By partnering with the Worcestershire Community Foundation, these initiatives can tap into a robust framework of match funding aimed at addressing pressing local needs, thereby aligning philanthropic goals with tangible community outcomes.

## Notice

The Strengthening Worcestershire Fund was successfully rolled out in 2024, with PS187,000 raised and 31 vital local projects funded. In total there were 57 applications totalling PS337,000, demonstrating the huge demand for this type of funding for project/core costs. For this year, the Council has a further PS100k available that they wish to invest in supporting local communities through small grants to community groups/charities through a continuing partnership with Worcestershire Community Foundation (WCF), who will fundraise an agreed level of match and manage the logistics of the end-to-end programme.
