## Summary

Durham County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Thriving Together Funding Programme - Grant Management Service," under its Public Health department to enhance local health, wellbeing, and social inclusion. This service falls under the administrative social services category and targets VCS (Voluntary and Community Sector) organisations within the UKC14 region, particularly in Durham. Initiated through a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, the process culminated in the awarding of the contract to Point North Community Foundation. The contract, valued at £150,000, spans from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2028, ensuring long-term operational support for the successful delivery of the programme.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) involved in social services. The programme allows organisations to apply for substantial grants annually, supporting their efforts towards sustainable community development and impactful service delivery. Businesses adept in grant management and administrative social services would find this an excellent opportunity to reinforce their service offerings whilst aiding community upliftment. Engaging in such government-funded initiatives not only aligns with social responsibility objectives but also enhances organisational credibility and fosters long-term partnerships with public authorities.
