Commissioning and Procurement

As you may be aware, Newham Council are preparing to change their current grant system to a commissioning system, in line with the government’s modernisation plans to move from the ‘traditional’ grant funding to contracting out services to local Voluntary Community and Faith sector organisations. Through funding from ChangeUp, NVSC, The Renewal Programme and Aston-Mansfield Community Involvement Unit are carrying out a piece of work to determine what barriers there may be for groups to tender to deliver public services. Following on from this, support packages will be developed to better equip groups to feel more confident about entering into the commissioning process.
