Research, Social Value and Social Partnership
Social Enterprise Link is keen to share research that we have done, and can share. We also welcome requests by organisations that might want research and development work on their social value propositions. We are also pressing for social partnerships which enable Public Sector, Employers, Trade Unions and Civil society orgaisations can work together on projects for the common good.
Consortia development and co-operative bidding
Many commissioners ask for applications from collective bidding partnerships, which we are happy to co-operative with as lead or partner. However, we are also keen to help establish Special Purpose Vehicles (organisations) for the delivery of commissions and projects. Please do talk to us about this.
