The Social Procurement Framework

The Social Procurement Framework is a strategic approach that organizations use to purchase goods and services in ways that generate positive social outcomes. Instead of solely focusing on price and quality, it encourages sourcing from suppliers that contribute to community well-being, employment opportunities, and social inclusion. By integrating social goals into procurement decisions, the framework aims to create benefits beyond the transaction, supporting local economies, marginalized groups, and sustainable development, while still meeting organizational needs effectively.
