Term Extension of the National Highway's Social Enterprise Dynamic Purchasing System

Description

National Highways is inviting organisations to apply to the Social Enterprise Dynamic Purchasing System (SEDPS) to provide Goods and/or Services to National Highways, our Supply Chain and other Government departments across England. The SEDPS is available to organisations with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners. If you are interested in applying to join the SEDPS or would like further information, please contact the National Highways Procurement Team at socialenterprisedps@nationalhighways.co.uk or visit our webpage below. https://nationalhighways.co.uk/suppliers/becoming-a-supplier/social-enterprises/ The SEDPS is open for use by all Government Agency and Public Bodies for the full duration of the SEDPS that are identified in the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations, Local Authorities in England and Wales who are identified in following link: https://www.local.gov.uk/our-support/guidance-and-resources/communications-support/digital-councils/social-media/go-further/a-z-councils-online, Local Authorities in Scotland who are identified in the following link: https://www.mygov.scot/organisations, and Universities and educational providers who are identified in the following link: https://www.ucas.com/explore/search/providers?query=.
