NEW Pre-bid partner intelligence

Stop googling for social value partners. Let the data find them.

Discover vetted local delivery partners, evidence local need with LSOA deprivation stats, and de-risk your supply chain in minutes — not days.

How it works

Built for funders. Discovered by bid teams.

We originally built Fundin to help major grant-makers make data-driven funding decisions. To do this, we mapped over 200,000 UK non-profits against deep financial and local demographic data.

Recently, social value managers started using our platform to solve their biggest headache: finding capable, local VCSE partners for public sector bids. We’ve now tailored this intelligence engine specifically for the demands of PPN 026 and the Procurement Act 2023.

200,000+ charities. 20+ data points. One platform.

  • Financial & governance

    Multi-year balance sheets, income and expenditure trends, and active trustee records from the Charity Commission and Companies House.

  • Website scrapes

    We don’t just rely on official registers. We read non-profit websites to map the exact programmes, beneficiaries and cohorts they actively support today.

  • Local need & deprivation

    English Indices of Deprivation 2025 and live claimant counts, down to full postcode and LSOA neighbourhood level.

  • Funder & grant history

    360Giving data shows exactly who funds a charity, their active public sector grants, and their historical project proposals.

From delivery postcode to named partner

Cut bid sourcing from 40 hours to 4 minutes

Stop relying on outdated VCSE spreadsheets or manual web searches.

  • Radius search — instantly find active non-profits within 1 to 100km of your delivery postcode.
  • Semantic tender matching — paste your work package requirements to surface partners whose activities match your exact needs.

Write unassailable, data-backed bid narratives

Evaluators penalise generic social value promises. Fundin gives you the statistical proof for why your intervention targets a specific location.

  • LSOA deprivation baselines — cite IMD deciles, skills deprivation ranks and local unemployment rates.
  • Gap analysis — prove your initiatives target unmet demand rather than duplicating existing services.

Protect your scorecard from partner failure

Under the Procurement Act 2023, missing your social value KPIs because a partner became insolvent can result in a public non-performance record.

  • Financial vetting — review multi-year financial stability before you name a partner in a tender.
  • Delivery capacity — use grant histories and staff capacity metrics to check a charity can handle your proposed sub-contract spend.

Actionable intelligence across the supply chain

Bid teams & social value managers

Maximise your 10–20% social value weightings under PPN 026. Rapidly source verified local partners for Good Jobs and Skills criteria, evidence local need, and build robust, deliverable supply chains before the tender deadline.

Corporate CSR & ESG leaders

Move beyond generic corporate donations. Identify hyper-local grassroots organisations that align with your ESG goals, conduct thorough due diligence, and distribute corporate grants or employee volunteering hours where they make the most impact.

Public sector procurement

Conduct smarter pre-market engagement. Map the baseline VCSE capacity in your local authority to set realistic, achievable social value thresholds in your tender documents.
