Supply chain and corporate partnerships
Shaw Trust works in partnership with a diverse range of public, private and third sector organisations. We build robust and resilient supply chains with local partners who share our values and principles. As a prime contractor we will always pass down the same or better terms to our supply chain partners and will never bid for contracts that could be better delivered by a local third sector organisation.
Shaw Trust is committed to challenging inequality, driving social value and making a meaningful difference to individuals and their families.
We recognise we cannot do this alone, and work collaboratively with trusted local partners who play a vital role in helping us achieve lasting impact across the communities we serve.
We seek to build strong values-led partnerships with like-minded organisations; particularly voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) and small-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) who share this commitment.
If your organisation has a proven track record of performance, deep roots in your local communities, or brings an innovative approach, we would welcome the opportunity to learn more about you.
Completing the Shaw Trust Partner Registration Form is the first step in starting that conversation. While submission does not create any obligation or guarantee of contract award, it helps us better understand your capabilities and assess whether your organisation may be suitable for inclusion in our Delivery Partner Directory and future partnership opportunities.
All information you share will be managed securely and in line with data protection legislation and used solely to assess suitability and help us identify organisations that may be a good fit for future opportunities within the Shaw Trust supply chain.
We are also keen to work in flexible and creative ways with our partners — from co-locating services and aligning funding streams, to connecting complementary expertise that strengthens delivery and improves outcomes for the people we collectively support.
If you’d like to discuss any of the above in more detail, or for any support completing the Shaw Trust Partner Registration Form, please contact partnerships@shaw-trust.org.uk
