Contract tips and guidance


Securing public sector contracts

Futurebuilders and NCVO's Sustainable Funding Project's comprehensive guide, 'Before signing on the dotted line...all you need to know about procuring public sector contracts' helps third sector organisations navigate the rules, procedures and practices that make up the public sector procurement process. 

State aid

We ensure that all our investments do not breach European Union rules governing state aid. The state aid rules exist to ensure that state aid given to an organisation in one EU country does not distort competition affecting trade between member states. Most applications to Futurebuilders are not affected by state aid rules, but we have to test every application against the rules during assessment, especially where an applicant proposes to produce a product or materials for sale in a competitive market.
