NCVO and Serco to set Good Practice Standards
NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations) and Serco, a company that holds a wide variety of government contracts, are to agree together a set of quality standards for the relationship between prime contractors (often known as primes) and sub-contractors. These standards will cover areas such as risk, fair payment and how much support is offered by the prime. These will represent good practice and will not be legally enforceable. The time-scale is rapid but there is no date set as yet.
