This paper presents the ways due to which public stakeshares, private or civil society must respond to contemporary social problems being forced to seek new ways to solve public problems. In this context, a growing interest in public institutions to achieve partnerships with the private sector, profit or non-profit begins to manifest, in order to support social development. Social economy sector is growing steadily, the best representation being the non-governmental organizations. These organizations have expanded their number and activities and have started offering a variety of services, thus constituting the key factors that determined their development and reforms of social services in Romania as well. Thus, the policy framework in which private providers of social services operate is evolving permanently, marking new relocations regarding the need for state intervention to regulate the market, the changing relationships and roles. The new reforms have allowed the private sector and the tertiary sector in the social field, to provide the helping and representation framework to vulnerable groups, people with disabilities and certain age groups (children, young and old) in a situation of social exclusion. Non-governmental Organizations in Romania have played in the last 20 years an active role in the social services market, supplying the missing services or complementing those provided by the state.
