public-commons partnerships

I need to merge this and [[commons-public partnerships]].

• the state as incubator, partner, supporter, broker

Some possible issues:

• public-commons partnerships issue

  • local authorities are large
    • commons coop sector is small
      • hard to find a common language that works well across that divide

• local authorities are large

• commons coop sector is small

• hard to find a common language that works across that divide

• e.g. how do you do catering for a huge hospital with PCP?

  • one solution: cut up the tendering, cut up the services
  • break it down in to smaller contracts, units
  • let go of the idea of efficiency at scale
  • adds complexity for the commissioning organisations, though
  • digital works perhaps is able to scale better?
