ONE EAST MIDLANDS NEXT STEPS

REVISED INVITATION TO TENDER Closing date extended to 17 August 2020

This is your chance to be involved in moving forward the inclusive and supportive East Midlands Voluntary Sector body

As the regional network for the voluntary and community sector (VCS), our mission is to maximise the role of the VCS as an influential, valued and equal partner in all policy development in the region.

With no current paid staff, the OEM board successfully commissioned and worked with partners to produce the East Midlands Inclusion Framework in 2018. OEM then funded workshops in 2019 to support the VCS to learn from and implement the framework. We are committed to using our limited resource to continue to support VCS inclusion and to support development of inclusive practice which aims to challenge inequality and poverty for our member organisations and key stakeholders.

We are inviting tenders from potential providers to build on previous work as a leader in social inclusion policy and to take the next steps in delivery of our mission on behalf of the members of One East Midlands. This work will build on the work of the OEM board in identifying strategic priorities for 2020/21 in order to secure funding and deliver activity in support of these and priorities.
