FED - The Federation of Yorkshire and Humberside Museums and Art Galleries

Get to grips with the language and landscape of commissioning.

Increasingly local authorities are seeking to commission work directly from third sector providers to meet their objectives.  In order to benefit from this work the cultural sector needs to understand the needs and perspectives of commissioners and be able to articulate how they meet wide social policy objectives.  This seminar will help you understand the issues and find out how you can benefit.

Presentations and workshop programme

Fundraising in Hard Times - Keith Bartlett, Director of Engagement MLA North. 
 
Understanding Public Sector Commissioning: the opportunities and the challenges – workshop and presentation from Linden Rowley, Improvement & Development Agency
Linden researched and wrote an I&DeA report for MLA and Arts Council England “Creating Better Outcomes for Children and Young People by Improving the commissioning of Cultural Services”  and is currently writing a guide to commissioning for the culture and sport sector.
 
Commissioning in Action: a case study:  Katy Archer, Director, National Centre for Citizenship and the Law
In the last year NCCL has been commissioned to deliver work for the Crime and Drugs Partnership, Nottinghamshire County Council and Nottingham City Council.  All of this work was won through a tendering process.  NCCL also has grant funding from the Home Office, the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Ministry of Justice which illustrates the potential for museums to link into relevant government agendas at a National level.
