Details

The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority is seeking to appoint a Grant Administration Partner to support delivery of the grant funding component of the £12 million North East Community Impact Fund (CIF). CIF aims to improve outcomes for children and families experiencing poverty by strengthening the capacity, capability and sustainability of the VCSE sector and enabling more preventative and outcomes-based approaches to service delivery. The Grant Administration Partner will manage the administration of £3.2 million of funding through approximately 160 grants to VCSE organisations across the North East. This will include managing grant application and assessment processes, undertaking due diligence and contracting, processing payments, monitoring delivery and maintaining programme management information. The partner will work closely with North East MSA, the CIF Programme Management Office and other delivery partners to support effective referral, reporting, governance and funding decision-making arrangements.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this governance & public institutions opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
