Working in a consortium: A guide for third sector organisations involved in public service delivery

This guide contains practical information aiming to help organisations work successfully in partnership to provide public services. It stimulates thinking around what to consider before starting to develop a consortium, whether a consortium is the right way forward for you, and the advantages and disadvantages of working in a consortium. Further information on the legislative and regulatory framework, the policy context, developing agreements and the different models for working as a consortium are presented in the appendices.

This guide is written for small charties and local third sector groups, although will be relevant to a wide range of third sector organisations.
