You may be aware that from 1st October 2014, Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) will be responsible for commissioning the majority of victims’ services locally through funding from the Ministry of Justice. This means that Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector service providers may be bidding to their local PCC to obtain funding to deliver services, as well bidding to other public sector bodies.

The Ministry of Justice intends to support the VCSE sector through this new commissioning landscape and to increase their capability and capacity to deliver services including those commissioned by PCCs and has contracted with Pulse Regeneration to deliver a Skills and Information Workshops to help support the VCSE sector through this new commissioning landscape.

The workshops will help VCSE organisations prepare for commissioning, and are designed to better enable frontline service providers to bid for grants and/ or contracts when tendering processes are launched.

The workshops are free and will be delivered in each of the PCC areas across England and Wales, including Swansea on 24th April (South Wales PCC area).
