Winning a grant is exciting. Managing everything that comes next can quickly become overwhelming.
As organisations secure more funding, they also take on more reporting obligations, milestones, funding agreement requirements and acquittals. For many teams, the challenge is not winning grants. It is finding the time and expertise to manage them well.
That is why we are excited to introduce SurePact Managed, a new embedded grants administration service available exclusively to existing SurePact clients.
SurePact Managed gives organisations access to a dedicated grants expert who works alongside their team inside the SurePact platform, helping manage obligations, deadlines and acquittals without the cost and complexity of hiring another employee.
What is SurePact Managed?
SurePact Managed is an embedded grants administration service that helps organisations manage the grants they have already won.
Unlike traditional grants consultants who typically focus on finding or writing grant applications, SurePact Managed supports organisations after funding has been secured.
Your dedicated grants expert works directly within the SurePact platform to help manage:
• Funding agreement obligations
• Milestones
• Reporting deadlines
• Progress reports
• Acquittals
• Ongoing grant administration
Because everything happens within SurePact, there is no need to transfer information between systems or brief an external consultant on your grant portfolio.
If you are new to SurePact, learn more about our grant management software for recipients and how it supports every stage of the grant lifecycle.
Why did SurePact launch this service?
Because software solves part of the problem. People solve the rest.
Over the years, we’ve worked with hundreds of organisations managing grants across local government, health, higher education and the not-for-profit sector.
One challenge comes up time and again.
Teams are successfully securing grant funding, but they are struggling to keep up with the administration that follows.
Sometimes there is no dedicated grants specialist.
Sometimes there is one person carrying the entire workload.
Sometimes a staff member leaves and years of knowledge leave with them.
As grant portfolios grow, the administration grows too.
That is where SurePact Managed helps.
“Winning funding is just the start.
Every grant comes with ongoing responsibilities, and it’s easy for those to become overwhelming as your portfolio grows. SurePact Managed gives organisations the confidence that someone is proactively keeping track of obligations, reporting and acquittals, so their teams can focus on delivering outcomes.”

Who is SurePact Managed for?
SurePact Managed is designed for organisations whose grant portfolio has grown faster than their internal capacity.
It is particularly valuable if your organisation:
• doesn’t have a dedicated grants officer
• has a grants manager who is stretched across multiple responsibilities
• wants to reduce compliance risk
• has experienced staff turnover
• wants greater confidence that grant obligations are being managed consistently.
Whether the challenge is a skills gap, a capacity gap or both, SurePact Managed becomes an extension of your existing team.
How does SurePact Managed help reduce grant management risk?
The biggest risks often come after funding has been awarded.
Missing a reporting deadline or acquittal can affect more than a single project.
It can create compliance issues, damage relationships with funders and reduce confidence in future funding applications.
The Australian Government’s Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles highlight the importance of effective grants administration, accountability and ongoing management throughout the grant lifecycle.
SurePact Managed helps reduce these risks through:
• proactive obligation management
• regular portfolio reviews
• ongoing monitoring of reporting deadlines
• dedicated grants expertise
• clear visibility of upcoming activities
Rather than reacting when something is overdue, your organisation can stay ahead of what is coming next.
Why combine software with expert support?
Technology works best when it’s backed by people who know grants.
SurePact already provides organisations with a single platform to manage grants from application through to acquittal.
SurePact Managed builds on that foundation by adding dedicated expertise directly into your existing workflow.
There are no spreadsheets to reconcile.
No duplicated systems.
No lengthy handovers.
Just one platform supported by one dedicated grants expert.
Ready to keep your grants managed?
Winning grants should create opportunities, not additional administration.
SurePact Managed gives your organisation access to experienced grants expertise that works alongside your existing team to help ensure every grant stays organised, compliant and on track.
