Things for main contractor to consider • How can the subcontractor extend/enhance your offer? • Eg: Are there unheard voices that third sector can reach? • How can I be assured about quality, achievement and good administration? • What support does the subcontractor partner need? • How can the relationship be developed to maximise benefit to learners?

  8. Good practice • Transparent selection & funding process • Relationship of trust & cooperation • Written agreement, good communications, timely payments • Using strengths of partners • Share good practice between partners • Share staff training & quality improvement • Relationship strategic not contingent
