Social Enterprise

Social enterprises now operate in almost every industry in the UK, competing to deliver goods and services.

Since the introduction of the Civil Contingencies Act in 2004, all publicly funded work has required that suppliers have a Business Continuity Plan. Crisis Survivor helps organisations of all types and sizes to get tender ready.

Resilience and long-term stability are also key in attracting funding. For Social Enterprises we can offer training and education through local community business groups. For businesses on the South Coast, we can, for the moment, offer fully grant funded training via Train to Gain for Business Continuity Planning with our consultancy partner Strategic Management Partners. 

Following their election The Coalition Government made a commitment to develop new opportunities for civil society organisations in public service delivery. The consultation currently in progress will open more doors to Social Enterprises, stated in the Green Paper issued on 7^th December 2010, as it considers how:

• The Government can make existing public service markets more accessible to civil society organisations
• To cut away unnecessary red tape by streamlining procurement processes.

In line with the consultation the forthcoming White Paper will explore how to maintain continuity of service and manage risks in light of these reforms.
