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.
