Public Social Partnerships

Public Social Partnerships (PSPs) are strategic partnering arrangements, based on a co-planning approach, through which the public sector can connect with third sector organisations (voluntary, charity and social enterprise organisations) to share responsibility for designing services based around service user needs. Once designed and trialed, such services can then be commissioned for the longer term through a competitive tendering process.

Ready for Business has significant experience in supporting the development of partnerships. As a result, we are able to provide guidance and support throughout the Creation, Development and Management of public social partnerships.
