Futurebuilders launches new Tender Fund

Futurebuilders England today launched a new interest-free loan fund for third sector organisations struggling to meet the cost of tendering for public sector contracts. The £1m Tender Fund is intended to help third sector providers win contracts where prohibitive tendering costs would otherwise make it difficult for them to bid.

Jonathan Lewis, Chief Executive of Futurebuilders England said: 'We know there are organisations with the skills to bid for and win public sector contracts who simply can’t afford the costs involved in preparing competitive bids. Our conversations with the sector tell us that providers often need money to fund tendering related costs such as legal bills, financial expertise, staffing backfill and advice from procurement specialists. We are determined to get as many third sector organisations as possible winning contracts to deliver public services, and we feel this new Fund is one way we can help.'

Amount: The new Tender Fund will provide interest-free three year loans of between £3,000 and £50,000. This will help organisations who simply need a smaller sum of money to get them through the tendering stage.
For further information: Call 0191 261 5200 or email
info@futurebuilders-england.org.uk 
Closing date: There is no closing date for applications, and the Fund will be available on a first come, first served basis until the £1m runs out.
