The webinar will cover:
- The key characteristics of a consortium co-operative
- Benefits of joining a consortium co-operative
- How the model is used for tendering
- The support provided by CDS to businesses seeking to formally collaborate as a consortium co-operative
In a consortium co-operative:
- Members work together for a common goal while retaining their own brands, identities, and control
- Members can be limited companies, partnerships or individuals
- A consortium co-operative works best for three or more businesses (due to the democratic voting nature of a co-operative)
About CDS

- Co-operative Development Scotland is part of the Inclusive Models Team within Scottish Enterprise
This model acts on behalf of all Scotland’s Enterprise agencies (Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and South of Scotland Enterprise)
