The Virgin Money Foundation is inviting tenders from parties interested in becoming our learning partner and evaluating the effectiveness of our new digital inclusion strategy, which launched in February 2024.
Through the strategy, the impact we hope to achieve in the communities we fund is that people no longer experience digital poverty. They are able to access online services and opportunities resulting in educational, financial, social or health and wellbeing benefits.
The strategy currently encompasses three programme strands:
- Building Digital Skills Fund
- Volunteer and Connect Fund
- Digital Champions programme
We want the appointed learning partner to help us to test our existing thinking, evaluate the effectiveness of the three programmes in real time and look at what we can do to improve and change our strategy into year three and beyond to best support our communities to become digitally included.
We initially intend to appoint for a two-year term with the potential to extend beyond this time.

The delivery organisation will be recruited in September 2024. Tender proposals should be submitted by Friday 9th August 2024 at 12 noon.
