Overview of NOMS ESF Social Enterprise Challenge Projects

More than the Sum is a £1.5m fund developed by NOMS CFO Programme, aimed at supporting the creation of enterprise based consortiums. The objective is to help small and medium sized social enterprises and organisations from other sectors be in a position to participate in the delivery of current and future NOMS CFO, wider government and other opportunities.

The fund will provide technical and specialist support to help develop governance, legal and other structures and policies together with initial investment monies to develop the business model. The investment funding will be competed through a series of national. regional and local lots.

On the More than the Sum Platform (click here) can post your areas of expertise, the locality or region(s) or otheryou are interested in (either where you’re working now or where you would like to expand your services into), your contact details and also search for your ideal partners.

In the first instance, you need to register your interest via email at morethanthesum@socialfirmsuk.co.uk

You will then be sent a word template to fill in and be able to confirm content before your profile page is made live.

This facility has been developed by Social Firms UK and Social Firms Pluss Connect and Electroville respectively on behalf of NOMS CFO and is offered as a tool for potential bidders to use. It does not form a part of the procurement process itself. To register an interest in participating in the procurement event, please contact Simon.Ambrose@noms.gsi.gov.uk or phone 0300 047 5902.

16 April 2012: Stage 1 Request for Proposal (RFP) for the NOMS CFO Social Enterprise (SE) Consortia Building programme (Technical Assistance funded) has now been opened on the eSourcing portal.

For reference, a copy of the Stage 1 RFP questions can be found via the Co-financing website (http://www.co-financing.org/proc_main.html). You are not able to respond to these questions directly – Stage 1 RFP submissions must be made via the eSourcing portal.

NB: As per the launch events, it is not necessary for every organisation wishing to take part in this programme to register for, and have access to, the eSourcing portal. Only one organisation on behalf of each prospective consortium model must register in order to submit the Stage 1 RFP response (either the consortium itself or a “lead” member on behalf of the consortium members).

If you have any queries regarding the above please contact Simon Ambrose via simon.ambrose@noms.gsi.gov.uk.
