The North East CIF programme primarily speaks to 'the home of real opportunity' mission, and forms part of our Inclusive Futures service, within the Skills, Inclusion and Public Service Reform Directorate. It aligns closely with the MSA's ambitions on child poverty, resilient communities, good work, and inclusive growth. The appointed provider will: 1. Build on the Full Business Case (FBC) and take into account the funding conditions and recommendations from the appraisal process, to finalise the design of the CIF programme, including its operating model and governance structures, ensuring the CIF is ready to begin delivery by early 2027. • Create a clear delivery plan for the programme including a timeline with key milestones, dependencies, roles and responsibilities, with particular detail given for 2026/27. • Create a delivery framework for the Pillar 3 Outcomes Match Fund, including how the budget, approach, and decision-making process to allocate funds will: o In year 1, prioritise match funding for ready-to-go outcomes-based models/projects with a proven track record of delivery, to enable an agile response to emerging funding opportunities (e.g. BFF round 1), and to provide learning to inform the MSA's approach to match funding in later stages of the CIF. o Particularly during years 2 and 3, if funds allow and organisations are at the required state of readiness, enable regional organisations, including those supported through the capacity-building elements of the CIF, to benefit from match funding for outcomes-based programmes, as per the intentions outlined in the FBC. • Scope the market to identify potential providers for the other contracted elements of the CIF, including the Programme Management Office function (PMO), grant administration and evaluation elements, taking into particular consideration the capability and capacity of regional VCSE organisations, whilst ensuring compliance with the MSA's financial and procurement rules at all times. • Work with North East MSA colleagues (including in the Procurement and Programme Assurance Teams) to agree and implement the necessary procurement and grant award procedures to mobilise the programme, enabling the appointment of key delivery partners and supporting infrastructure - particularly for the PMO and regional VCSE support. • Work with VONNE and key stakeholders to identify potential regional strategic projects that will enable the delivery of Pillar 2 (System Resilience and Capability) and support VCSE organisations to access outcomes-based commissioning approaches, providing recommendations of how such work should be delivered and by... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/community-impact-fund-programme-mobilisation-ocds-h6vhtk-06e8ca) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 79000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** 1 (pending) - Supplier(s): **Social Finance Limited** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-185021` - Value: £90,720 (exc.
