Social Enterprise Guide to Public Sector Procurement (UK)

Working with the Public Sector: Busting the Myths

The Social Enterprise Coalition has put together this guide that looks at 10 myths about social enterprise and public procurement.  It is aimed both at social enterprises who wish to enter the public sector market but face challenges navigating the procurement process, and contracting bodies who want to work with social enterprises and commission for social value.

This is a guide to the most commonly-held but mistaken beliefs about procurement, market engagement and localism.
