two.1.4) Short description
NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (hereafter the Contracting Authority) is seeking to commission a Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Infrastructure Support (North East Lincolnshire) through an Open procurement process. The preferred Bidder will be required to demonstrate they are able to provide a coordinated, coherent and sector-focussed VCSE infrastructure support which has a demonstrable positive impact on maintaining a thriving voluntary community sector (VCS) in North East Lincolnshire. The Provider will collaborate closely with partners across North East Lincolnshire to ensure local organisations benefit from new developments and opportunities in the Borough. By working together, they will help maximise the positive impact of Devolution and the substantial government investment, with a focus on supporting job growth and enhancing the quality of life for the residents of North East Lincolnshire.
The service will be required to:
• Support to the VCSE organisations and groups to access sources of funding, including social investment.
• Enable a voice and influence within the sector through facilitating and developing engagement and communication channels. This includes the promotion and awareness raising of the sector with relevant stakeholders.
• Facilitate improved collaboration across the VCS and support for the enhanced role of the VCS within respective place partnerships (economic, social, health, environment and cultural).
• Support the establishment of new, and the capacity of existing, VCSE organisations, to flourish in North East Lincolnshire, including those which reflect diversity within our communities.
The Contracting Authority wishes to establish a single Lead Provider contract for the provision of the service. The service model will include a single provider who will act as the contract holder with the Contracting Authority. It is anticipated that the Lead Provider may deliver the entirety of the service specification or may choose to sub-contract elements that it cannot deliver.
