National Sexual Violence Support (NSVS) Fund

Tender description

The Home Office is seeking to award grant funding to non-statutory sector organisations in England and Wales to provide support to victims and survivors of rape and sexual violence. Funding of £150k will be awarded for a period of 11 months. If successful, the voluntary sector organisation(s) will be allocated funding centrally via a Grant Agreement from the Home Office. All bids must be for 11 months only, and bidders must be able to demonstrate the ability to spend their entire potential award by the end of the 2019/20 financial year. While there will not be a formal cap placed on the amount an organisation can bid for, we expect all bids to be scalable. To ensure diversity of funding, please be aware that we may scale back top scoring bids in line with the scalability details provided. More details about scalability will be made available in the published documents. The process leading to the award of the grant will be administered using Crown Commercial Services (CCS) eSourcing portal.
