VA Briefing 142 – Commissioning – an opportunity for the voluntary arts?

‘Commissioning’ is the process of finding, hiring and managing another individual or organisation to deliver a project or programme of work on your behalf. It is also known as ‘contracting out’, ‘outsourcing’ or ‘procurement’. This briefing deals mainly with the opportunities for established voluntary arts groups to bid for contracts from commissioning bodies, such as local authorities.
