Background: The £11 million MSIF, a subset of the Home Office's £33.5 million Modern Slavery Fund, seeks to support innovative approaches to tackling modern slavery. The first £6 million of MSIF grants was awarded following a competitive selection process in March 2017. These projects, running to March 2019, are directly supporting victims of slavery, building the evidence base, tackling slavery in supply chains and helping to share skills and expertise with overseas partners. For Phase 2, the Home Office is proposing to award a total of £5 million of grant funding ("Funding") for proposals that deliver on the priorities identified in the global Call to Action to End Forced Labour, Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking. The Home Office is also interested in bids that make innovative use of technology or tackle child sexual exploitation, although these are not essential requirements. Bidders are encouraged to submit proposals that run for the full two-years of funding availability from April 2019 to March 2021. All proposals must be made, and will be evaluated using, the online questionnaire hosted on the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) eSourcing portal.
