Supply chain development

Encouraging diversity and quality in supply chains

In order for public and private sector programmes to be delivered in the best, most efficient and effective way, we have seen first-hand that it’s essential to embed social enterprises in supply chains.

At Inspire2Enterprise, we’ve collated a network of social, investment and business specialists, each of whom is committed to embedding social enterprises in private and public sector supply chains.

The changing landscape

It is becoming increasingly common for public and private sector bodies and organisations to look to social enterprises for help in delivering important programmes of work. Central government and local authorities, for example, want to find the means to address social challenges in a way that delivers tangible, measurable value, and economic returns. In the private sector, the emphasis is increasingly on the role that creating social value has in building sustainable business, attracting value and giving back to the community.

This thirst for social value, and not just monetary returns, is opening up opportunities for social enterprises to enter the supply chains of public and private sector organisations. We help social enterprises to maximise the opportunities offered by these new commission trends by:

  • Developing new routes to market
  • Helping organisations develop new services or tailored solutions to meet changing needs
  • Working with key decision makers, commissioners, stakeholders and sponsors looking to engage and work with social enterprises
  • Improving the business focus and investment-readiness of social enterprises to ensure they are well placed to work with public and private sector bodies
