New guide to help Third Sector Organisations navigate the Procurement and Commissioning maze

NAVCA and NCVO have jointly published Pathways Through the Maze, the first comprehensive guide to procurement regulations written for voluntary organisations and community groups.

Sustainability for Third Sector Organisations should at least take procurement and service contracts into consideration.  This publication answers all of the key questions organisations will have about procurement processes and explains the legal requirements applying to public bodies' procurement exercises.

Pathways through the Maze is essential reading for:

• Anyone in an infrastructure organisation who works with commissioning, procurement and public services.
• All voluntary organisations, community groups and social enterprises interested or involved in delivering public services.
• Public Sector commissioners wanting to improve their engagement with third sector organisations.

Printed versions of the publication have been distributed to members of NAVCA but the guide can be downloaded as a pdf here or you can visit the Downloads section of the website and click the link.
