A guide to procuring social enterprises for the NHS
The Social Enterprise Coalition, in partnershp with the NHS Purchasing and Supplies Agency, has launched More for your money: a guide to procuring from social enterprises for the NHS, a short guide to achieving better outcomes from NHS procurement through social enterprises.
With case studies that illustrate how contracting with social enterprises has benefited a range of NHS organisations, the guide explains:
-
why NHS organisations should consider buying goods and services from a social enterprise
-
what NHS organisations can do to encourage social enterprises successfully to compete for contracts.
Free copies of the guide (or an online pdf version) are available from the Social Enterprise Coalition website.
