This month, our cover theme focuses on the state of public commissioning. We consider what the flaws in the current system are, how charities are navigating it and research that shows a declining interest in bidding for public sector contracts.

As well as this, there is our annual responsible investment feature, which includes a roundup of the latest developments in this area.

In addition, we hear from Friends Provident Foundation about the Endowment Investment Challenge and the Vivensa Foundation on its move to values-aligned investing. 

There is also the 2026 Banking Survey and much more.
