Closer Links briefing event - Stamford

 Registration is closed for this event

Ever wondered how you become a sub-contractor or a delivery provider in a bidding opportunity?

The One East Midlands and New College Stamford partnership project Closer Links* will be hosting this free half day briefing event at New College Stamford on Friday 15 March from 9.30am to 12.30pm.

Facilitated by Stamford College the briefing event will provide information on what commissioners/funders are looking for and guidance on compliance and quality requirements that regularly underpin funding agreements for public and commercial funding.

The briefing event will provide an opportunity for voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) providers and support organisations to look at:

  • different types of processes used to buy service delivery and ancillary support from providers
  • examples of compliance and quality requirements that regularly underpin funding agreements for delivery providers and/or sub-contractors
  • examples of opportunities available.

At this event you will have the opportunity to:

  • meet the college buyers of Employability and Skills Support Services including ancillary services e.g. specialist support for disadvantaged groups.
  • learn more about the college and what they are looking for
  • receive generic information about the college’s commissioning process
  • find out how you may be able to become a registered approved delivery partner on New College Stamford’s Framework agreement 2013 – 2016.

Following on from the briefing, organisations will have the opportunity to attend a mini compliance health check clinic, where they can begin to exam in more detail how closely their current compliance and quality procedures meet the even tougher requirements set by funders. Guidance will be available to help them address any issues identified in the clinic.

Why should you attend?

Securing funding is always a challenge and as it gets tougher organisations need to future proof their complaince and quality approaches so as to be ready to take advantage of emerging contracting opportunities.
 

The Closer Links briefing events will provide information on what commissioners are seeking and what prime contractors may be looking for in the supply chain. The briefing events will help you understand what it means for you, how you can respond and what action-planning you may need to do in readiness to take advantage of future opportunities.
