Social Procurement Australasia, the Social Procurement Network and our key partners are bringing the sector together for a week of celebration, advocacy, and action, to:
Raise the profile and promote the activities and outcomes of Social Procurement
Activate stakeholders and build energy and pride in what has been achieved, and what is possible.
Celebrate the work of Indigenous Businesses, social enterprises, Australian Disability Enterprises, employers, procurers, intermediaries and partners in delivering incredible outcomes for so many.
Ensure social procurement is firmly on the agenda, demonstrating to decision-makers what’s working, where barriers exist, and what improvements are needed to continue to deliver sustainable outcomes for our most vulnerable communities.
A range of events are being planned over the week including: webinars, thought leadership forums, local showcases, and a Social Procurement Network get together. More info as event details confirmed.
Local Showcase Events: We are inviting social enterprises, Aboriginal Business, Project Managers, Councils and communities to host local events:
Practical, place-based demonstrations of social procurement in action, enabling Ministers, government stakeholders, buyers, executives and local government representatives to observe activity and outcomes firsthand.
The events will seek to showcase live or on-site examples of social enterprise, Aboriginal Businesses, and employment programs supporting participation in procurement supply chains, highlighting employment, capability building and community impact.
