#WeBuySocialEU - Socially responsible public procurement #1 (2020)

Socially responsible public procurement (SRPP) is about achieving positive social outcomes in public contracts. By purchasing wisely, public buyers can promote employment opportunities, decent work, social inclusion, accessibility, design for all, ethical trade, and seek to achieve wider compliance with social standards. Public buyers across Europe are starting to take advantage of these opportunities and demonstrate real social impact in their purchasing. For more information on how the social aspects of the EU Public Procurement Directives were transposed at a national level, plus further good practices on SRPP, with a particular focus on access to public markets by social economy enterprises, see the Buying for Social Impact report: https://op.europa.eu/s/oiNL
