Further to the previous FTS PIN (ref. no: 2024/S 000-037463), which was published on 20th November 2024 regarding this forthcoming procurement opportunity, Essex County Council ("the Council") would like to invite prospective providers to engage in a soft market test as part of the market engagement for this project. The soft market test has been designed to establish the potential level of interest from organisations to deliver a Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) - Resource and Funding Maximisation service and to invite feedback on the proposed structure of this service to inform the Council's commissioning intentions. Pending a review of the market feedback for this soft market test, the Council intends to commission a VCS Resource and Funding Maximisation Service offer which will work collaboratively with: • A VCS Universal Standard Support Offer, providing digital business, compliance and learning resources. • A VCS Community Participation partner, working strategically to develop a culture of participation across Essex and: • Geographically based resources offering targeted and bespoke support across a range of outcomes. The primary scope of the VCS Resource and Funding Maximisation service is predicated upon investing in a partner to enable a more strategic approach to maximising the funding and resources for the VCS. This partner will leverage financial and non-financial resources, strengthen the VCS capacity to secure funding, and support a strategic approach to distributing funding and non-financial resources. For the avoidance of any further doubt, please note that the Council will finalise the scope of this procurement opportunity following the conclusion of the market [...]
