Tender: National Highways Social Enterprise Dynamic Purchasing System (SEDPS) – Call for Social Enterprises

About

National Highways is inviting social enterprises whose main aim is the social and professional integration of disabled and disadvantaged people, and which meet the 30% threshold stipulated in Regulation 20 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, to join its Social Enterprise Dynamic Purchasing System (SEDPS). The SEDPS is designed to make it easier for National Highways, its supply chain and other public bodies to purchase goods, works and services from qualifying social enterprises and to support National Highways' commitment to social value as set out in its Social Value Plan. For the first 12 months the SEDPS is open to organisations that provide works, goods or services directly to National Highways (i.e. have a live contract with National Highways), after which it may be made available to organisations supplying indirectly to National Highways. The SEDPS may also be used by public bodies listed on gov.uk and by local authorities in England identified in the linked guidance.
