Grant Management Services

Access - the Foundation for Social Investment (Access) is seeking a partner to deliver grant management services for its pre and post investment support activity. Access has four main funding themes of blended finance, pre and post investment support, enterprise grants and market development. For clarity, this ITT relates specifically to grants management services required to deliver the pre and post investment support strand of Access's work. At this point Access only requires grants management services for one pre-existing programme which sits within that strand of work, the Reach Fund, for the period April 2026 to March 2030. This will be the focus throughout this ITT. However, when appointing a prospective service provider we will reserve the right to extend the scope and/or the duration of pre and post investment support activity and associated grant management services required, if a mutual agreement can be reached between Access and the service provider. To respond to this ITT, please provide a proposal of how you would deliver the required specification for grants management services as outlined in the tender notice attachment. Within the proposal, please ensure: - it is no more than 20 pages (with a minimum font size 11, page limit excludes any CVs or similar relevant appendices) - each element of the specification is addressed, using the corresponding A - F section references. - A price for services based on the overall working budget for the programme detailed in Section 4.1, with a supporting breakdown of costs, highlighting those which are fixed and variable. The breakdown of costs should include a list of staff to be involved, with extent of involvement and indicative day rate to be provided for each. Responses should be submitted to info@access-si.org.uk , with a subject header of 'ITT Response: Grants management services', by 1pm on Tuesday 2nd December 2025.
