Supporting Scotland's Third Sector
We believe that the third sector can achieve much more by working together.
The Ready for Business Third Sector Register is a searchable database of third sector suppliers across Scotland
P4P Resources include the 10 Stage Procurement Guide, Collaboration Toolkit, templates, instructional videos, and case studies.
Tender and partnership opportunities for the third sector are promoted by P4P through our website.
The P4P events page includes details of events on procurement and collaboration across Scotland.
This includes support to organisations to develop partnerships and consortia – potentially leading to new and improved services or products and a wider geographical reach.
“As a small 3rd sector provided tendering is a daunting process. I’m thankful I was put in touch with P4P which made the whole process from start to finish less daunting. Our Coordinator – Neil Young – was really patient, professional and a great support. Without hesitation we will certainly use their service again.”
“P4P were absolutely brilliant. With their help bidding was clear and easy. Neil explained the whole process step by step, created an action plan and follow up reviews. It was a pleasure to work with them. I would highly recommend their support”
“P4P and Claire from the team were excellent, made the process much simpler and without their help the submission would never have taken place. Our submission was successful and this in turn benefits hundreds of young people who need our help.”
“P4P were absolutely brilliant. With their help bidding was clear and easy. Neil explained the whole process step by step, created an action plan and follow up reviews. It was a pleasure to work with them. I would highly recommend their support.”
Having help from the P4P project saved me a lot of time, effort and stress, finding out how the tendering process worked. I am sure it also enabled me to concentrate upon content rather than process, and thus write a better quality of bid.
P4P was able to provide advice and direction in both facilitating the development of the partnership and readying us for our tender application…He was also able to talk us through a couple of P4P resources – the collaboration toolkit and the bid library
P4P provided guidance on tendering, market research around procurement opportunities and creation of our bid library. The help we received was invaluable and we are now in a much stronger position to seek procurement opportunities.
The help provided by Neil at P4P really made the process easier to go through… I’d certainly seek their support if we have to tender again.
P4P allowed us to be tender-ready ahead of time of publication. This allowed us to focus on writing the actual tender when it was published…I cannot recommend them highly enough.
I’ve been to Neil’s presentations on partnership working and collaboration. He knows his stuff.
Yesterday I attended a brilliant workshop… it was a real eye-opener with a huge potential for future partnership working!
