We would like to make you aware of an upcoming conference hosted by the Guardian and in association with SEC which will explore the role of social enterprise in the future of public service delivery.
“Social Enterprise 09: the future of public services?” takes place on Thursday 19th November (Social Enterprise Day) at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham and is aimed at anyone involved in commissioning, delivering or improving public sector services.Speakers at the event will include Vince Cable MP, Claire Dove, chair of SEC, and Peter Holbrook, CEO of Sunlight Development Trust.
As the government plans to limit spending, the public sector will need to fundamentally rethink how it delivers services. This event will provide inspiration, ideas and practical lessons on how to exploit the benefits of working with social enterprises.
For Coalition members interested in taking their first steps into public service delivery, the conference presents an opportunity to find out more about the commissioning process, make useful contacts and begin to plan for your future. For those already delivering contracts, the event is a chance to network with commissioners and other social enterprises.The conference will tackle some of the common misconceptions that exist around social enterprise which can hamper its prospects in a competitive tender, and offer advice from commissioners and experts on the best ways to demonstrate social impact in order to secure a contract.
