Regional & national perspectives

• I’m not sure about the SEEDA reference (p4.). This, I think, has been taken from the 2005 enabling framework. The situation now is a bit more complex – including a lot more emphasis on ‘mainstreaming the third sector’. The question is whether you leave what you’ve got - with its broad optimistic take – or attempt a more defined analysis of the current situation.
• I think it would be good to see a robust two way conversation with the regional agenda which could both expand on B & H’s strengths – e.g. good practice in private sector engagement (firmly on the national and regional to do list) , suggest markets for expansion – e.g. renewables, and emphasise place making e.g. B&H at the core of coastal regeneration
• Obviously from my perspective it would be nice to see mention of the se2partnership/ Social Enterprise South East!
• A more structured look at business opportunities may also be useful in terms of fit with regional strategy. I think we (se2partnership) will be trying to encourage a sector focus: Culture, Housing, Rural, environmental, Health/social care, regeneration.
• Should procurement be in there more explicitly?
 Do you find this valuable?
