grant-admin-COMPLETE-FTL

Every council runs its grant process differently. Flexigrant gives your team full control over how each grant scheme is configured. You choose which workflow stages are active, set the review criteria, define approval routes, and decide who sees what.

When your funding requirements change or a new programme launches, your team makes the changes directly in Flexigrant. There is no developer required. No IT request to raise. No delay between a policy decision and the system reflecting it.

DATA DRIVEN INSIGHTS

Reporting That Supports Decision-Making

Councils need more than basic reporting. You need to demonstrate programme outcomes to funders, present performance data to elected members, and identify where funding is working and where it is not. Flexigrant Insights gives you real-time analytics across your entire grant portfolio.

You can track grant application volumes, monitor grant awards against targets, measure programme outcomes, and export reports in the format your stakeholders need. Data is current, not pulled together from a spreadsheet the night before a meeting. 

FTL-product-analytics

Deep Insights

Flexigrant Insights goes beyond standard reporting, empowering councils with real-time analytics and deep data insights. 

Optimisation

Flexigrant Insights provides actionable data, empowering organisations to optimise their grant management processes, programs, and services for maximum effectiveness. 

Make data driven decisions

Accurate and timely reporting is vital for Councils, Local Authorities, Local government and central government and local governments to maintain transparency, track performance, and drive informed decision-making. 

ENGAGEMENT

One Portal for Everyone Involved

When applicants do not know where their grant application stands, they contact your team. When reviewers cannot find the information they need, decisions slow down. Flexigrant solves both problems with dedicated portals.

Applicants submit applications, check their status, and respond to queries through their own portal. Reviewers access scoring tools, application details, and assessment templates in a separate space. The Committee Workspace brings decision-makers into a single, centralised area so panels can review and decide without coordinating across email chains. The whole setup ensures transparency throughout the grant lifecycle and keeps your process fully auditable.

SECURE DATA

Meeting Your Data Protection Requirements

Councils handle sensitive information. Grant applications contain personal and financial data that must be protected to the standard your governance framework requires. Flexigrant uses encrypted cloud-based storage, role-based access controls, and a complete audit trail of every action taken in the system.

Only authorised personnel can access critical information, and user activity is tracked and logged throughout using our EDI feature. Flexigrant also supports Single Sign-On (SSO) integration, so your team accesses the system through your council's existing credentials. We are accredited to ISO 9001, and ISO 27001, and are Cyber Essentials Plus certified.

BUDGETS

Financial Control Across Every Programme

Managing grant budgets across multiple programmes is complex when the data lives in different places. Flexigrant gives you real-time tracking of funding allocations, expenditure, and remaining budget across all your grant awards in one centralised view.

You can see exactly how public funds are being used, identify overspend before it becomes a problem, and produce accurate financial reports without pulling figures together from multiple systems. Data protection controls make sure only authorised users can access sensitive financial information.

Frequently Ask Questions (FAQs)

What is grant management software for councils and local government? Grant management software for councils is a platform designed to handle the compliance, transparency, and accountability requirements of public sector grant funding. It manages the full process from application intake through to award, payment, monitoring, and audit reporting. Flexigrant is cloud-based and built specifically for councils, local authorities, and central government bodies that need a complete, auditable record of every funding decision.
How does Flexigrant help councils stay compliant with audit requirements? Flexigrant records every action taken on a grant: who made a decision, when, and why. This creates a complete audit trail you can present to internal auditors or external bodies without having to reconstruct it from emails and spreadsheets. Approval workflows enforce your sign-off procedures automatically, so nothing gets approved outside of process.  
Can Flexigrant handle multi-agency government grant programmes? Yes. Flexigrant supports programmes that span multiple departments or agencies. Each team can have its own workflows, approval stages, and reporting templates while sharing a single platform. Role-based access controls mean each team only sees what they need to. This maintains data separation without duplicating systems.  
How does Flexigrant compare to managing council grants in spreadsheets? Spreadsheets can't enforce approval workflows, produce audit-ready reports, or guarantee that funding decisions follow your governance procedures. Flexigrant replaces manual tracking with a system where every application, review, decision, and payment is recorded automatically. For councils under public scrutiny, this level of accountability is essential, and spreadsheets simply can't provide it.  
Does Flexigrant meet public sector data security and GDPR standards? Yes. Flexigrant uses encrypted data transmission, role-based access controls, and secure UK data hosting. The platform supports GDPR compliance including consent tracking, data retention management, and subject access requests. Flexigrant helps councils and central government bodies meet the data governance standards expected of public sector organisations handling citizen information.  
Is Flexigrant available on G-Cloud for public sector procurement? Yes. Flexigrant is listed on the UK Government's G-Cloud framework, which means councils, central government departments, and other public sector organisations can procure it through the Digital Marketplace without running a full tender process. This significantly speeds up procurement timelines and ensures you meet public sector buying rules.
