Pathways through the Maze: procurement guide
3 November 2009
NAVCA and NCVO have jointly published Pathways Through the Maze, the first comprehensive guide to procurement regulations written for voluntary organisations and community groups.
The Guide answers the most common questions voluntary and community organisations have about procurement processes and explains the legal requirements applying to public bodies' procurement exercises
Pathways Through the Maze is essential reading for:
- Anyone in an infrastructure organisation who works with commissioning, procurement and public services.
- All voluntary organisations, community groups and social enterprises interest or involved in delivering public services.
- Public Sector commissioners wanting to improve their engagement with third sector organisations.
