10. www.londoncouncils.gov.uk Opportunities for VCS organisations Recognition of the value that VCS organisation can bring both in terms of working with vulnerable people with complex needs and the relationship with the local authority. The intention was to try and make the contracts more accessible than in previous programmes: 4 CPAs rather than 2, with some contract sizes smaller than others Payment model which offers a delivery fee upfront. However some of the contracts are still quite large, VCS organisations may consider: Bidding directly as a consortium Start conversations with Primes to become part of the supply chain
