How can local public authorities work in partnership with social enterprises and the broader social economy, to improve and develop local services through a relational approach to commissioning services? This webinar for commissioners from local public authorities, as well as leaders of social enterprises and other public benefit organisations, examined the benefits and challenges of new, impactful ways of organising public services. It also examined how the commissioning, procurement and contracting processes can be improved to enhance partnership working.
