Collaboration / Collaboration framework

Public purpose. Shared delivery.

A framework for collaboration between authorities, research institutions, social organisations and private partners.

Start with the social need

Collaboration begins with a defined need: for example, better access to cultural meeting places or research into a local participation programme. The objective is agreed before funding instruments are selected.

Contributions and responsibilities

Public bodies could contribute policy, space or funding. Research partners could provide methodology and independent evaluation. Social and cultural organisations could support programming and reach. Private partners could contribute expertise, infrastructure or finance.

Project-specific agreements

A project proposal describes objectives, participants, budget, contributions, decision-making, data use and evaluation. Applicable procurement, grant and other requirements need professional assessment for each concrete collaboration.

Broad collaboration, a defined form

Public-private collaboration describes a development direction here. Whether a project ultimately takes the legal form of a grant project, consortium, commissioned service or another arrangement has not yet been determined.

A contract with public value

Define the public problem, beneficiary group, funding sources, delivery duties, outcome measures, data rights and exit arrangements. Public contributions should buy specified public value, not a vague association with a brand.

Independent content and conflicts

Disclose interests and prevent sponsors from directing clinical advice, participant selection or research conclusions. Procurement, subsidies and contractual obligations depend on local law and require qualified review before commitment.
