Competitive Grants Process for Voluntary and Community Services Support Services

* All documentation is available via YORtender DN216918* North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) and the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in North Yorkshire invest in the provision of practical and strategic support to facilitate a strong, diverse and vibrant voluntary and community sector and volunteering across North Yorkshire. The current agreement for the provision of these services finishes on 31 March 2017 and we are looking to reshape the support service that is delivered. We are therefore developing a new specification and we will then use a competitive grant process to procure a new service with a view to having new arrangements in place for 01 April 2017. By voluntary and community services support services we mean practical and strategic support (sometimes known as infrastructure support or local support and development) provided to support VCS organisations. We carried out a review of voluntary and community sector infrastructure which can be viewed at http://www.nypartnerships.org.uk/vcsreview this provides information on the sorts of services that would be included.
