Thank you for taking part in our UK Nationals Support Fund (UKNSF) market engagement exercise.
This exercise is designed for organisations in the community and voluntary sector who provide support services to UK nationals (UKNs) living in the EU/EFTA states.
The FCO are establishing the UKNSF as a Grants Scheme for the community and voluntary sector. This grant funding would be used by organisations to support UKNs to complete the full process required to register/apply for residence by the deadline in their MS of residence.
The purpose of this exercise is:
- To gauge level of interest in the UKNSF from potential bidders.
- To better understand the nature of UKNSF bids that might be submitted.
- To provide an opportunity for potential bidders to inform the final detail of the UKNSF and raise any issues or concerns they may have about the Fund or the bidding process.
Your participation in this market engagement exercise is voluntary and your responses are anonymous.
This exercise is not part of the formal grant application process and no prospective bidder will be advantaged or disadvantaged by anything said during this exercise. Whilst the FCO expects to proceed to an open competition for UKNSF grants in due course, there is no obligation to do so as a consequence of this early market engagement activity.
Please note:
- There are a number of open text questions within the following questionnaire, and character limits for each question. The limits are noted next to relevant questions so please note these to avoid writing too much content that later needs editing down to fit.
- If you close the browser during the completion of your questionnaire, your answers will not be saved. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you want to take time to write and refine your open text answers or are worried about technical problems or being interrupted whilst completing your questionnaire, we recommend that you write answers to the open text questions outside of this questionnaire so that you can copy and paste them into your response. We have provided in the Contracts Finder notice a PDF version of this questionnaire so that you can fully prepare your answers.
- Completing this questionnaire should take around 10 minutes, plus the time you take to write your open text answers.
