From procurement to purpose: Creating positive community impact

What you’ll learn

Procurement is no longer just about cost and compliance, it’s a powerful lever for delivering social value and strengthening local communities. This webinar explores how public sector organisations can move beyond traditional procurement practices to create measurable, positive impact through their contracts and partnerships. We’ll discuss practical strategies for embedding social value, supporting local economies, driving sustainability, and improving outcomes for residents. Join us to learn how procurement can become a purpose-led tool for change, and hear real-world examples of impact in action.

• Why procurement must become purpose-led
• Social value and community impact: What it really means
• Embedding purpose into procurement strategy
