What is being bought

Published requirement description

This contract will form a key part of our Health Equality funding. In July 2020, following an EC decision, we provided an additional 14 development grants to partnerships who had applied to the Healthy Communities Together (HCT) programme. During this development grant period and in order to maximise our learning, we provided them with a Support and Learning Contract.

As well as supporting the grant holders in this programme, we will also look to bring on board new and existing projects from our responsive and other funding streams to connect with relevant grantees, join events and share learning.

Some of these projects will have their own learning elements and we expect any bidder to work closely with other organisations, to build on and complement their work and not overburden any of our grant holders or duplicate other learning activity. For example, the HCT programme where grant holders receive expert support from The King’s Fund and Connecting Health Communities by the Institute for Voluntary Action Research (IVAR).
