Welcome to 3SC

3SC wins and manages public services contracts on behalf of third sector organisations. Using a consortium model, we manage the bidding process and build supply chains of local organisations, allowing smaller third sector providers to compete for, and deliver large contracts.

Third sector organisations have a vital role to play in public services delivery, but the size and complexity of the competitive procurement processes and increasingly demanding contracts makes it difficult for smaller organisations to compete on their own. In response, 3SC has developed the capability and flexibility to work as a prime contractor, subcontractor, and intermediary between social investors and delivery organisations. We manage the procurement process from beginning to end, and also manage the contracts to ensure high quality performance, enabling our third sector partners to focus on excellent delivery.
