Inclusive Procurement Practices

Inclusive procurement practices refer to the strategies organizations use to ensure that a diverse range of suppliers, particularly those from underrepresented groups such as women-owned, minority-owned, and disabled-owned businesses, have equal opportunities to bid on and win contracts. This approach not only promotes fairness and social equity but also can enhance innovation and community development by bringing varied perspectives and solutions. By intentionally integrating these practices, organizations aim to create a more equitable marketplace that benefits everyone in the community.
