Local Partnerships Positive Steps already partners with Oldham Council and is expanding IAG services to Rochdale and Tameside, signaling a solid public sector revenue stream and growth in employment support. This presents an opportunity to pitch end-to-end program delivery, contract management, and outcomes reporting solutions tailored for local authorities and nonprofit service providers, with potential integration to their trading arm for social procurement.

Outcome Driven Contracts funded on payment by results create a need for robust data capture and impact reporting. Position a data analytics and donor management package, including CRM, performance dashboards, and reporting workflows, to help demonstrate outcomes, ensure compliance, and optimize funding options.

Digital Modernization The current tech stack shows readiness for digital tools but may benefit from modernization for scalability and security. Offer CMS modernization, cloud hosting, security hardening, and integrated analytics. Provide migration services from Joomla to a modern platform and implement unified user experiences across web, live chat, and maps to improve engagement and accessibility.

People Focus With a large two hundred employee workforce and strong employee engagement, there is a clear opportunity to offer HR technology, learning and development, wellbeing programs, and flexible work enablement solutions to improve retention and performance across teams delivering youth and employment services.

Social Enterprise Positive Steps Trading creates a pathway for social procurement and revenue diversification. Propose procurement and supplier management platforms, contract management, or B2B partnerships to scale the trading arm while enabling better reporting of social impact to funders and donors.
