The countywide Building Stronger Partnerships (BSP)  group agreed this week to feed information into the 'third sector working group' at the County Council especially to try and improve the clarity of guidance around quality assurance required of charities who seek to contract with the county council and around the issues of ownership of intellectual property arising from those contracts. This is aimed at helping to address the inconsistencies curently existing which make the tendering process more fraught than it needs to be.
