Mark will be delivering this half day workshop for CVS Cheshire East. Mark  will explore the ingredients for a successful contract and how to manage change during its lifetime.

In a tough funding environment marked by constant change and disruption, effective contracts can be the lifeblood of a charity or community enterprise.

  • Key commercial terms to get right (e.g. payment by results, indemnities, exit payments)
  • Traps and risks to watch out for (such as inflation risk, changes in the law, TUPE transfers, pension liabilities)
