Development of a Funding, Commissioning and Procurement Code for the North West
26 November 2009
The first concerted actions of the recently launched Regional Compact will explore the regional funding, commissioning and procurement relationships between the third and public sectors in the North West.
The next meeting of the Compact Working group will take place in December. VSNW have already taken the opportunity at our Conference and AGM (VSNW'09, which hosted the public launch of the Compact) to hold a workshop exploring the implications and implementation considerations of the agreed Compact commitments around Funding, Commissioning and Procurement.
To feed into the development of the regional Funding, Commissioning and Procurement Code please either contact Warren Escadale or comment on the Issuu version of the Regional Compact (subscription required but free).
