Procurement and the Third Sector
Third sector providers often believe they are disadvantaged when it comes to competing for public sector contracts.
Public sector procurers think they’re doing everything they can to promote a level playing field.
This unhappy mix has sometimes led to fractured relationships and missed opportunities.
This workshop aims to provide a clear explanation of public sector procurement rules and processes, with some practical tips on how to win tenders.

Workshop 3 16:30 – 17:15
Sustainable Funding – finding the right mix
‘We don’t need to worry about our future, we’ve always been able to attract grant funding and are confident that we always will’.
Third sector organisations can normally locate funds to kick start projects, but find it difficult to secure funding for ongoing work. Many find themselves ‘trapped’ in the funding cycle and relying on grant funding as a main source of income.
This workshop will raise awareness and understanding of sustainable funding and will help you consider the right ‘funding mix’ for your organisation. It will also provide an overview of the steps involved in achieving sustainability.
