Details

The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority is seeking to appoint a Programme Management Office (PMO) Partner to support the management and coordination of the £12 million North East Community Impact Fund (CIF), which links to anticipated future investment through the Government’s Better Futures Fund. 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 PMO Partner will provide the central programme management and coordination function for CIF, supporting effective delivery across the programme. This will include supporting programme governance and reporting, financial and contract management, performance management of commissioned delivery partners against agreed outcomes and milestones, and management of programme-level risks and dependencies. The PMO Partner will also support the development and management of Social Outcomes Partnerships, coordinating relationships between delivery partners, investors, commissioners and outcomes payers. This will include ensuring the Better Futures Fund element is leveraged effectively as part of the CIF programme.

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.
