Description

As part of our close working relationship with the Third Sector, Kirklees Council wishes to commission a project entitled \"Supporting the Third Sector in Kirklees\". The Council has allocated an overall budget of £187,000 (£180,000 in year 3) per annum to fund a single organisation, multiple organisations or consortia to deliver a range of support activities in Kirklees under the Lots specified in the Tender Documents.

This project is part of a longer term vision for Kirklees that seeks to create a district with a strong, sustainable economy that offers a great quality of life to its residents - leading to thriving communities, growing businesses, high prosperity and low inequality where people enjoy better health throughout their lives.

The Lots have been divided as follows:

• Volunteering Support (Lot 1)
To improve Third Sector infrastructure, to support, train and increase the capacity to work effectively with volunteers, offer creative ways to volunteer and increase the number of volunteering hours.

• Infrastructure Support (Lot 2)
To improve Third Sector infrastructure so more organisations will develop, grow and increase new consortia, funding/bid partnerships and maximise external investment and self-sustain.

• Specialist Financial Support (Lot 3)
To improve Third Sector infrastructure with specialist accountancy and financial reporting support to promote good governance and growth.

• Migration Support (Lot 4)
To reduce isolation of vulnerable migrants, asylum seekers and new refugees when they arrive in the UK/Kirklees through the opportunity for peer mentoring.

The Service Provider will be expected to work alongside, assist, co-operate and in good faith with other Service Providers providing Services under the Lots above in delivering the best possible Service.
