3SC manages contracts on behalf of voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The delivery of public services is a difficult and competitive marketplace, dominated by large commercial organisations that can lack the person-centred and inclusive approach to public services that the VCSE sector excels at delivering. 3SC gives these organisations a chance to compete for, and ultimately deliver, such contracts. We have built supply chains and worked with more than 550 different delivery organisations across 16 programmes in the welfare to work/employment, young people, criminal justice, and disabilities’ arenas. 3SC has supported and enabled the VCSE sector to access more than £62 million since its inception through our directly delivered contracts and Transforming Rehabilitation activities. We believe that the needs of people using public services, especially those who are hardest to reach, are best met by experienced, local, passionate and mission-driven organisations.
