EU Compliant Contracts & Framework Agreements
Since 2002 we have tendered and created over 20 EU compliant framework agreements for ourselves, our partners and more recently on behalf of a number of our Clients – agreements which, collectively, have procured goods and services in excess of over £400 million. Our procurement team has a wealth of experience and a detailed working knowledge of EU regulations. We work in advisory, mentoring or wholly outsourced capacity – whichever meets your needs.

Continuous Improvement, Cost Management & Performance Management
Every year Fusion21 work collaboratively with contractors, suppliers and consultants identifying opportunities to improve performance, mitigate inflationary cost increases and generate cost efficiencies. Using key performance indicators we can help you measure performance in order to achieve your organisations business goals.

If you’re looking for advice or assistance in bidding for new business in the public sector, then we may be able to give you the cutting edge. Whether its advice on the procurement process, documentation, selection criteria or integrating social and community outcomes into your submission, we can help. Our experienced consultants can help you develop an effective bid for Public Sector Grant or Loan funding

Reviews & In-House Repairs Services
There’s never been a greater focus on delivering excellent services to your customers; delivering them efficiently, right first time and ensuring you offer value for money. In fact both the Tenants Services Authority (TSA) and the Audit Commission expect it as a matter of course. Our tried and tested process has delivered performance and cost improvements for our Clients’ Repairs Services - improvements which have resulted in enhanced service delivery to their customers.

Employment Initiatives
Our experience in developing innovative employment schemes is nationally recognised.  Fusion21 has helped Registered Providers and Local Authorities both adopt and develop ideas by leveraging their own procurement spend to help create employment opportunities.

Strategic & Financial Planning
The rapid change in the legal, political and economic environment requires organisations to consider their direction in a radically changing landscape, for programmes, projects, initiatives and business strategy. Fusion21 can help facilitate the strategic planning process, to enable your organisation to grow. Our credentials in this area include Social Housing consultancy, Third Sector consultancy and Social Enterprise consultancy.

Social Return On Investment Advisory
An increasingly important planning and evaluation tool, Social Return on Investment considers the impact of an organisation or initiative on the wider community.  We can guide you through the process to develop an appropriate model for use as a guide, an evaluation tool or for use in marketing the benefits of your initiative or organisation.

Public, Private & Third Sector Partnerships
Fusion21 have already worked with Local Authorities, the NHS and other public bodies to develop appropriate vehicles required to deliver service on behalf of the public sector.
