Free commissioning guide for trustees

A free guide to commissioning and tendering for public services has been published by NAVCA and the Local Government Association.
Aimed at trustees, the guide was produced as part of Trustees Week 2011 which ran until 6th November.
The guide outlines all the key issues that trustees of local charities should be aware of when deciding whether to embark on public service delivery. It is not a ‘how-to-tender manual’ but provides information to help trustees understand the potential implications and impact of commissioning on their charity. It also contains information to help them bid for service contracts and ensure their organisation is ready for the tendering process and able to deliver the contract.
