  1. E3M Seminar: New Opportunities for Partnership between Social Enterprises and Commissioning Authorities Welcome and Introduction (1) Julian Blake Co-head Charity & Social Enterprise Bates Wells Braithwaite 8th July 2014

  2. Assumptions/themes for seminar • SE experience of Public Services contracting & funding environment problematic. • Perspectives: Commissioners: structural change, cuts, cautious advice; SEs: frustration from: process dominating purpose; SEs not seen as commercial; Lack of appreciation of SE business case. • PP rules scapegoated; tenacious myths; issue at every E3M event. • Other view - PP/legal teams/Govt advice cautious/uncoordinated/process led. • But EC policy positive: SBI; PP Directive; State Aid reform; GECES; Strasbourg seeking to keep SBI policy & momentum

  3. Assumptions/themes for seminar • UK policy less focussed: SE imprecisely seen as good thing; not championed; equated with voluntary sector; mixed objectives: cuts; privatisation; mutual models; SE models: Ivana Bartoletti “win/win”. • Premises of seminar: i) need to promote purpose driven delivery of public benefit services; ii) good examples & unrealised potential; iii) committed commissioners and SEs; iv) instinctive public support; v) favourable political rhetoric, which needs translating into reality. • In that context, exploring: i) progressive public law and SE sector developments; ii) opportunities for applying/developing new models, like commissioner/supplier led SIBs. • New PP Directive is opportunity to review principles underlying policy & legislation & discuss how public services could & should be commissioned & delivered.
