Stimulating new markets - commissioning social enterprises
A new report, ‘ Stimulating new markets - commissioning social enterprises’, has been published for the National Programme of Third Sector Commissioning.
This report presents the first stage of the Social Enterprise Coalition’s contribution research into stimulating new markets and using the power of commissioning to stimulate the social enterprise sector and new social enterprise models of delivery. It is based on four in-depth case studies that demonstrate how commissioning has been used to develop new social enterprise markets. They aim to provide practical advice to support commissioners to establish new social enterprises and new innovative service lines. This report also includes a discussion of key issues; situations where social enterprise may be particularly appropriate and simple actions that commissioners can take to support further social enterprise development.
