A new tendering and support project has been established for charitable and community bodies within Greater Merseyside.

The PASSMARK initiative recognises the challenges faced by third sector bodies as local authorities and PCT’s change their approach to commissioning and tendering for public and community services.

As a consequence, the Capacity Builders Fund has supported the PASSMARK project to provide performance improvement techniques to third sector bodies across Merseyside and Halton.

PASSMARK will be working with Liverpool Chamber in the delivery of training courses aimed at improving tendering performance by charitable and community organisations.

In addition, information will be provided via the Merseyside Funding Information Portal.

Visit www.mfip.org.uk to learn about funding and tendering opportunities locally.

As part of the Chamber’s belief that businesses views need to be heard by politicians - and the best people to put across those views are business people themselves. Liverpool Chamber regularly hosts meetings with influential MPs.
