Modernising Commissioning: Increasing the role fo charities, social enterprises, mutuals and co-operatives in public service
Citizens Advice has produced an interesting evidence based paper on it views on wider funding issues (beyond just Legal Aid), it mentions some very valid points. Here's what they have to say:
"Citizens Advice has formed a small dedicated Commissioning Team to provide support for bureaux that are required to tender for funding contracts. Many are unfamiliar with the processes and support has been in the form of training, tools and practical one to one support in completing the tender document. The team have therefore been involved in a high number of commissioning and tendering processes and have experienced both good and bad practice. In addition staff working closely with bureaux at a local and sub-national level have developed experience of working with both public and private sector partners and contractors. Their experiences will form part of the response to this Green Paper along with contributions from bureaux themselves.
We have responded only to those questions which we have evidence on which to provide feedback on."
