Using data analytics to navigate the 2026 reporting shift

This online session will take place via Microsoft TEAMS.

This interactive webinar will offer solutions to the reporting burden for organisations with publicly funded contracts. It will show you what's changed, why it matters, and how to turn that burden into a genuine funding advantage.
 

THE RULES CHANGED IN 2026  (and many funded VCSEs don't yet realise how much)

The way that organisations with publicly funded contracts are held accountable has fundamentally shifted this year. Commissioners and funders are no longer asking how many people did you see? They're asking what changed, for whom, at what cost, and can you prove it? For organisations still pulling reports together across multiple spreadsheets and disconnected systems, that's days of admin every month, and a growing risk at renewal.

WHO IS THIS SESSION FOR?

Any VCSE leader who wants to understand how the 2026 funding and accountability landscape is changing, and what it means for their organisation. It will be especially valuable for organisations that hold, or are preparing to bid for, funded contracts - whether NHS/ICB-commissioned, local authority, adult social care, children's or youth services, or any publicly funded contract under the Procurement Act.  The session will be most useful for:

• Chief executives and senior leaders who want to protect and grow their funding
• Service and contract managers responsible for commissioner reporting and renewal
• Finance and operations leads managing the data behind funded work
• Organisations that hold or want to bid for commissioned contracts - particularly those without a dedicated data team to handle the growing reporting load

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE SESSION

✓  A clear picture of which 2026 framework changes apply to your organisation - and what each one now requires

✓  An understanding of what commissioners are actually measuring - and where the common gaps are

✓  A live, one-click demonstration - watch a month of reporting, and a commissioner's toughest questions, answered instantly from data you already hold, on a live system aligned to the frameworks that apply to you, with no new system, new software, or data team required

✓  A dedicated data surgery - the final 30 minutes are yours: bring any question on reporting, data issues or the burden you're facing, and get practical answers on the spot

This webinar will be delivered by Mo Farhat - Founder and Chief AI & Data Scientist of Quematics - a specialist analytics consultancy working with VCSE organisations, charities and community organisations.  Mo realises that the new reporting expectations will cause many challenges for VCSEs, so he helps organisations turn the data they already hold into structured evidence of outcomes, impact, equity, and value for money - aligned to the commissioner and funder frameworks now in force.  

The session contains valuable free advice and guidance, and will also include a demonstration of a service that would have a future cost associated, should you decide to purchase. There is absolutely no obligation in attending - the objective of the session being to inform and share timely information.
