DCMS commissioned independent analysis to assist the government in targeting efforts first, to unlock public service spend for maximum social value and second, to support the sustainability of the VCSE sectors. This research explores the role which VCSEs can play in public services. It identifies how we can reduce barriers to increase VCSE participation in public service markets. A particular focus lies in areas such as health and social care, disability, employability, where tailored and bespoke support is often beneficial to best support vulnerable groups.
