What is MatchMyProject?
2
An online platform where organisations post requests for project resources and / or offer the resources they have
Local authorities - such as councils and housing associations can use MatchMyProject tools to channel resources towards community projects delivering local priorities
Outcomes? Better resourced community partners and an efficient mechanism for businesses and suppliers to discharge their Social Value & CSR duties.
Community projects register and post their requests for resources
Businesses operating in the area can review and support community projects AND post its own available resources
The contracting authority - a council or housing association, for example - can prioritise the type of community projects it wants to see receive resources.
In short, it doesn’t - the data does not directly feed into the tender evaluation process
But it does provide a repository of potential community beneficiaries that can be organised by local outcome
A supplier could agree to provide a certain level of support as part of its RFQ response and then find projects to support on Match - see Birmingham City Council.
