As more Third Sector organisations are asked to tender and bid for contracts to provide services as part of the government’s “Big Society” agenda CEOs and Trustee Boards face a new world of commissioning and procurement that they may never have experienced before. To support organisations to deal with these challenges we have launched a new service - The SMART Programme designed to help equip you with the skills to be more entrepreneurial, more commission and tender focused and better able to succeed in the competitive marketplace. The SMART Programme, run in conjunction with our partners Red Ochre, the leading social enterprise consultancy, covers key topics such as strategic planning, public procurement bidding strategy, risk management, sub contracting and joint working.
