In a time when governments need to get the greatest impact from the limited dollars they have to spend and entering a period of restraint and accountability, the responsible thing to do is accelerate and amplify social procurement. Through Social Procurement we can ensure that all post- COVID spending provides the ‘best value’ for taxpayers and communities - governments can purchase needed goods, services, and construction and simultaneously they can invest in local businesses, diverse owned businesses and support social enterprises. #covid #postcovid #socialenterprise #SocialValue
