Some charities and third sector organisation use procurement companies to some extent with almost everything they do. Others may (if they're entirely honest) not be entirely sure what a procurement firm actually does.

In this episode of Third Sector Success 101 we talk to David Hales from Hospice Quality Partnership Ltd. He explains to us what procurement firms do, how they can help charities and what the past few years have been like for a company there to help people get a better deal and save money.

David gives us an invaluable insight into how there are organisations (like his) out there that simply want to make your charity's life easier. And yet, many charities continue to fight their battles to stay financially secure and viable, alone.
