Why collaborate?• Consortia are delivery entities public sector will
work with (DWP, SFA, MOJ, etc).• A formal consortium is a valid tendering entity.• Collective track record, financial strength, reach
and expertise will be considered.• Extra integrated seamless services can be delivered.
![Page 9: Michael O'Toole 3SC Collaborating for public service delivery (NCVO Collaborative Learning Network event Dec 2010)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558a0e68d8b42a86778b462a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why collaborate?• Holistic customer journey can be provided.• Individual members can play to their strengths.• Economies of scale and cost-savings can be
delivered.• Mitigates risk – financial and capacity.• Enables a role for small organisations in larger
delivery. • Contracting strength.

Why a consortium?• Consortia can tap into centralised expert support: - Bidding - HR - Finance - Legal - IT• Contact financing (cash flow)

![Page 12: Michael O'Toole 3SC Collaborating for public service delivery (NCVO Collaborative Learning Network event Dec 2010)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558a0e68d8b42a86778b462a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Benefits for commissioners?• Seamless delivery across a range of services.• Local, personalised services via large contracts.• Single-point-of-contact: performance,
management information and added value.• Managing agent: delivery impartiality. • Cohesion across different sectors.
![Page 13: Michael O'Toole 3SC Collaborating for public service delivery (NCVO Collaborative Learning Network event Dec 2010)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558a0e68d8b42a86778b462a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Benefits and Pitfalls• A consortium is what you make it – clear roles
responsibilities, management and governance.• Consortia members need to pull together.• Shared responsibility, shared risk, shared
reputation.• Communications and accountability.• Harmonised with the need to be sustainable.
![Page 14: Michael O'Toole 3SC Collaborating for public service delivery (NCVO Collaborative Learning Network event Dec 2010)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558a0e68d8b42a86778b462a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Good Practice • Consortium needs to be fit for purpose.• Consider an independent managing agent:
single point of contact, as ‘Chief Executive’ or mediator. • Clear point of contact• QA independent from delivery.• Clear sub-contracts and agree: - process and referrals - outcomes
![Page 15: Michael O'Toole 3SC Collaborating for public service delivery (NCVO Collaborative Learning Network event Dec 2010)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558a0e68d8b42a86778b462a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Good Practice • Share resources: - secondments
- manage fluctuations- communicate & share experience
• Steering/strategic board• Review & learning• Capacity building
![Page 16: Michael O'Toole 3SC Collaborating for public service delivery (NCVO Collaborative Learning Network event Dec 2010)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558a0e68d8b42a86778b462a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sub-contracts/SLA
• Recommendations: - Anticipated work flows - Payment terms: when, how much, evidence - MI requirements (including centralised reporting functions where appropriate).• Outline process maps and outcomes.• Scope and tolerances of performance and contingency.

contract delivery.
