25th June
The East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) is proud to announce our partnership with Match My Project, alongside our four constituent councils - Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council, Nottingham City Council, and Nottinghamshire County Council.
Match My Project is an innovative marketplace platform that connects suppliers with local community projects in need of support. By joining this initiative, we’re ensuring that the benefits of our procurement activities are felt where they matter most - right here in our communities.
As part of this initiative, we want local VCSEs to join the platform and advertise their community projects.
Why Join Match My Project?
- Be Championed in your Community
MMP is powered by communities, recognising that grassroots VCSEs know their localities best.
- Get Support with your Projects
Connect with suppliers who are eager to match your community projects and help deliver your mission and needs.
- Access Available Resources
Receive job opportunities and other resources offered by suppliers, allowing you to benefit from their capabilities and expertise.
- Reduce Time Spent Getting Your Projects Off the Ground
Streamline your processes using a centralised platform, allowing you to efficiently manage and track the support you receive. Benefit from transparent, two-way feedback that keeps all parties aligned and accountable.
To get started, we will be hosting an online onboarding workshop for VCSEs on 01 July 2025, from 1 to 2pm, where you will set up your login and upload your first project onto the platform. We will follow this up with a feedback session a month later to see how you’re getting along and to iron out any issues.
Please email Rita.DeAvillez@eastmidlands-cca.gov.uk if you’re interested in this opportunity. If you’re not able to attend the onboarding session, there are still other ways to get involved so don’t hesitate to reach out!
