Tendering For Care

Between 1st January 2007 and 31st December 2010, almost 9,000 people have attended training courses delivered by TfC. These have included over 250 at events delivered on behalf of NAVCA  and a similar number at events delivered on behalf of the DWP and DH. A review of feedback forms showed that more than 8% would like a short"handy guide" to the principles which underpin tendering and procurement. This has been requested for various groups which include:

Trustees of Charities;

GPs;

Practice Managers;

Health Professionals;

Directors of companies;

Senior managers;

volunteers;

front line staff who are not involved in tender preparation;

staff at CVS, voluntary actions and other umbrella bodies to hand out in response to enquiries.

The Guide includes a reference to the important matter of Competition Law, essential for all those working or planning to work in any style of consortium, Partnership, SPV (SPE) or other type of Joint Venture arranagement

TfC has researched the content and has pleasure in making "The Handy Guide" available to download, FREE of CHARGE from the link below.
