Public Sector Procurement

Social Value is front and centre to public sector procurement. It is therefore essential for organisations bidding for contracts with the public sector to be able to demonstrate their Social Value offer.

Social, economic and environmental benefits to local communities are evaluated alongside price and quality criteria which allows bidders to demonstrate their commitment to the areas they work in and the people who live there.

Suffolk Community Foundation is perfectly positioned to help organisations implement their Social Value initiatives through its unique position as the county’s largest grantmaker to the voluntary sector.

Deeply connected to our local communities, we work with over 3,000 charities and 10,000 community groups to ensure that they receive the vital funding they require to address need in Suffolk.
