Manchester City Council, GB Progressive Procurement

Complete

The Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) worked with the city on a policy for more impactful uses of procurement spending. The framework placed social value as 20% of the judging criteria for potential vendors. A supplier toolkit used volunteerism, support for vulnerable residents, and sustainable practices as examples of social value. Manchester City Council emphasized the importance of progressive procurement through e-learning tools and training sessions with decision-makers.
