Buying Social: A Guide to Taking Account of Social Considerations in Public Procurement 2nd Edition

This guide helps public buyers use their purchasing power to drive positive social change—such as promoting fair work, inclusion and ethical trade through procurement. Drawing on real examples from across the EU, it explains how to embed social considerations at every stage of the procurement process. While aimed at public authorities, it’s also relevant to suppliers, social enterprises, NGOs and anyone working in procurement who wants to align their work with social sustainability goals.
