description

Access is seeking a strategic partner to support the foundation's work with essential grant management services. This role will predominately be to deliver grant management services for the Enterprise Development Programme (EDP) over the next four years. However as our programmes evolve we expect our strategic partner to play a flexible role in working with Access to deliver other programmes and support as may be developed. We anticipate that the minimum value of grants to be managed through this contract to be £10,250,000 but may be greater than that.

The EDP provides a broad range of support to help charities and social enterprises make a transition to new enterprise models, or grow existing ones, with a focus on the models which are best enabled by access to finance, and on enabling organisations to utilise the tool social investment as part of that transition.

Decision making:

For unsuccessful applicants, provide feedback on how their application can be improved and /or signpost to other relevant sources of support.
