Third Sector Commissioning Evaluation

Shared Intelligence has been commissioned to evaluate the National Programme for Third Sector Commissioning. The Programme is delivered by the Improvement and Development Agency on behalf of the Office of the Third Sector, and aims to improve the involvement of third sector organisations in all aspects of commissioning.

In Autumn 2007, we carried out a baseline study for the evaluation. This follow-up survey looks at whether there has been any change and progress since that time and will also set a new baseline for the second phase, which is currently being commissioned.

We therefore encourage you to please complete the survey even if you have not had contact with the Programme so far, as your views on third sector involvement in commissioning will still be very valuable.

We are also very keen that as many people as possible who responded to the baseline survey, also respond to this survey, so that we can compare the two sets of responses.

We would also like to ask you to forward this email to others in your organisation and any other third sector contacts you have as it’s really important that we get a range of views, so this might include Managers, Directors and Trustees of both large and small organisations working in a range of sectors. Your help in getting the survey out to them would be much appreciated

The survey should take around 15 minutes to complete and your answers will remain anonymous.  It can be accessed by clicking on the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=F_2fXMLCgiOeaTgiFrIAzvXg_3d_3d.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Laura Jenkins on 020 7756 7600 or at laura.jenkins@sharedintelligence.net
