2010.
Application forms and

what can and can’t be funded so you are advised to throw away any old copies of

Panel meetings for Round

summer holidays.
We are also looking for
young people to become panel members with training days over the Easter
holidays. If you are aware of any young people who would be interested in taking
on the role of grant makers, please email Andy Fell (Andy.Fell@suffolk.gov.uk) or Donna

SCC Procurement
Procurement is the vehicle through which Suffolk County Council spends the greatest portion of its controllable budget.
Through procurement the Council intends to:
· help Voluntary Sector organizations to bid successfully for Suffolk contracts
· improve service delivery and delivering great value for money
· reduce our carbon emissions, other pollutants and the amount of waste we produce
· provide services which support vulnerable people and are tailored to their needs
The provision of efficient services is a given, but procurement can be used, to a greater or lesser extent, to deliver sustainability, diversity, local sourcing and other policy objectives.
If you would like to know more about the Suffolk County Council Procurement Strategy and the regulations governing procurement go to:

SCC Single Gateway Funding
There are currently two bidding rounds each year.

/Funding/SuffolkSingleGateway/ApplyingForFunding.htm
This is funding towards day-to-day running costs of your organisation or group that allows you to deliver your core purpose i.e. the reason your organisation or group was set up.
A ‘project’ involves developing a new service or initiative or to meet the start-up costs for a new service or event.
