Social Procurement in Australia Report (2010)
Social Procurement in Australia (2010)
This report is part two of the Social Procurement project commissioned by the Centre for Social Impact and developed by Foresters Community Finance, in consultation with the project partners.
The first part of the project developed Social Procurement Guidelines for Victorian Local Governments. The Victorian Guide is focused on practical guidelines at a local government level and includes some detailed legal advice from the Victorian Government Solicitors Office.
The national report, which is the second part of the project, is based on a national research project into social procurement, across government, corporate and not-for-profit sectors. The national report is more comprehensive in building a context for social procurement, but less focused on providing detailed guidelines for a particular sector.
A case study compendium detailing some key examples of social procurement in Australia is printed separately, but linked to this research report. It may be helpful for readers to refer to both documents if they are planning to develop social procurement policies or procedures in their organisations.
