The voluntary sector and Procurement – a summary of current voluntary sector experiences.
This paper draws together the main themes emerging from a range of reports exploring the experiences of voluntary sector organisations engaging in public sector contracts and the procurement process.
The paper looks at the current picture in Scotland and recent developments. It explores some of the broad barriers preventing the third sector from engaging fully with the procurement process, then looks at some of the policies and practices which support engagement.
The reports looked at here include surveys and interviews commissioned by both the public sector and the voluntary sector.
