Aims & Objectives
The launch of the Open Public Services White Paper last year and the introduction of the Public Services (Social Value) Bill in Parliament has meant that the role of Social Enterprise in public service delivery is becoming ever greater. This signals a culture change in the public sector commissioning process..
Greater emphasis is now being placed on the consideration of social value in public sector contracts. Capita’s National Commissioning Social Enterprise Conference brings together leading Public Sector bodies and innovative Social Enterprise organisations to examine the impact of these policy developments and provide delegates with examples of best practice in building new commissioner provider partnerships.
By enabling Social Enterprises to compete for contracts on a level playing field, citizens and communities will benefit from greater choice and more responsive public services. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear how your organisation could benefit from strategic use of Social Enterprise to deliver innovative solutions whilst stimulating new provider markets.
Key topics to be discussed include:
• Achieving value for money and Social Return on Investment
• Developing the skills and infrastructure within Social Enterprises to win more capital investment and public service
• Making the public Sector procurement process more accessible by introducing greater transparency and simplicity
• Supporting public sector ‘Spin Outs’ in developing their potential to be outstanding Social Enterprises
