Procurement Support Programme
VAS are working in partnership with Sheffield City Council to ensure Sheffield's Third sector organisations can engage with the Commissioning and Procurement process.
The following support is offered through the Procurement Support Programme.
Procurement Mentoring
Is your organisation expecting to be tendering for a contract in the near future and in need of some support to complete a PQQ? (Pre Qualification Questionnaire) If so we may have the support you require.
The Procurement Mentoring Scheme helps organisations to tender in a Procurement process by supplying a Procurement professional to guide them through the tender documents providing unique expertise.
To register for the Procurement Mentor Scheme view the flyer and complete the registration form.

Consortium Development
VAS has produced a 'Consortium Toolkit' - a manual and CD designed to guide and support third sector organisations who are developing, or considering developing, a consortia.
The Toolkit contains model documents, templates and business planning tools to create a business strategy that will equip organisations to make robust decisions. This resource is available from VAS at £25 per copy
A practical and intensive one-day workshop is also available to organisations purchasing the Toolkit. This valuable session provides further support and guidance in exploring the issues and considerations when establishing a consortium.
For more details or to request a copy of the Toolkit please email l.haynes@vas.org.uk or call 0114 253 6632
