Civil Society

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to page 112 of the Civil Society Strategy published in August 2018, when his Department plans to publish a guide to selling to government for voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations, including social value.

Answer

The guide for voluntary community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) bidding for government contracts is currently undergoing final checks. We anticipate publishing this document shortly.

DCMS officials have been working with the Cabinet Office on this guidance that will provide practical information for VCSEs bidding for government contracts, and aims to promote a healthy and diverse marketplace of organisations working with government.
