Over the next few months more than £30 billion worth of major public service contracts are coming up for tender, yet many third sector organisations lack the capacity and capability to successfully bid for, win and deliver them.
In response to sector demand, Futurebuilders is currently looking for consortia partners to help create a special purpose vehicle (SPV) which will trial a new approach for pooling expertise and resources for core services associated with tendering for contracts ? such as bid writing, financial modelling, contract negotiation and performance management.
Led by our Enterprise Director Ian Charlesworth, the consortium will be made up of third sector organisations with expertise in the bidding process, as well as those experienced in the direct delivery of public services. It is hoped the consortium will allow such organisations to take advantage of the upcoming contracting opportunities, helping them grow and become financially sustainable.
Interested in joining?
We are currently looking for organisations with interest and expertise in contracting and service delivery to join the pilot consortium.
Any third sector organisation with special expertise in bid writing, financial modelling, contract negotiation or performance management (including the management of a supply chain) is encouraged to enquire about becoming part of the management arm of the SPV.
Any third sector organisation involved in the direct delivery of public services in the fields of welfare reform, education and training, and health and social care is also encouraged to enquire about becoming part of the delivery arm of the SPV.
Organisations interested in joining the pilot consortium should contact Amanda Ibbett, email [email protected] or tel 020 7842 7709.
