Consortia delivery

Delivering social impact in partnership

Social enterprises have a pivotal role to play in public and private sector service delivery. However, it can be challenging – particularly for small social enterprises – to compete against established organisations when taking part in complex procurement processes. By working in partnership with Inspire2Enterprise, other social enterprises and relevant public, private or third sector organisations, your social enterprise could compete for, win and deliver large, valuable contracts.

Our commitment to the social enterprise marketplace includes helping you to increase access to vital funding and ensuring you’re in a position to grow. These are both potential benefits of working to a consortia delivery model.

Other benefits include:

  • Joining forces to share resources and expertise, with the aim of having greater impact and delivering a higher quality of service
  • Creating proposals together which clearly meet the needs of commissioners and clients
  • Sharing best practice for the social enterprise market

We are the bridge between social enterprises and potential consortium partners and the social investment community. By working with us, you can ensure you’re getting the most from partnerships and avoiding risks such as incompatibility of objectives. Get in touch to find out how we can help move your enterprise forward.

“Consortia working can bring specific benefits both in terms of the quality of service that beneficiaries receive, and for consortia members who may experience increased access to funding; capacity-building; peer learning and support; shared resources and raised profile. However it is not without risk” - Charity Commission
