GB-London: Grantee Non-Financial Support Partner (Innovation)

Tender description

The Heritage Fund invests in the full breadth of the UK's heritage and, through our funding, we aim to make a lasting difference for heritage and people. This is reflected in the outcomes for heritage, people and communities which underpin our grant-making and the investment principles set out in our Heritage 2033 Strategy. In recognition of the lasting impacts of Covid-19 has had on the heritage sector and as well as our long ranging funding objectives, the Heritage Fund initiated a pilot project to explore how we can proactively work alongside organisations to support the development, testing and adoption of the new approaches required for heritage to continue to deliver positive impact for people, places and communities across the UK at a time of volatile and shifting operating contexts. In 2021 we commissioned Discovery Phase research to increase our understanding of the problem areas most important to heritage sector organisations and inform the shape of a specific funding package that would support organisations to respond to these problem areas in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. We are now seeking a service provider who will provide learning support to a cohort of grantees as they scale innovative ideas into large scale projects Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs).
