Customer Grants · UK public procurement notice

Orbit are seeking to partner with a single organisation or consortium of providers with single lead provider to deliver a customer grants programme to cover our three regions of the Midlands, East and South-East of England.

We require customers grants to be managed and delivered via a digital platform with the provider to support and arrange third party distribution. The provider must be able to provide real time information and data sets to support the delivery and monitoring of the programme.

We want to understand how you would deliver the service from sourcing suppliers of goods to meet our requirements, management of the online grant portal including application and audit process. Thorough management of supply chain and delivery to customer. We would want the provider to have an excellent customer support provision including issue resolution and SLA delivery timescales.
