## Summary

National Highways has announced an extension to the term of its Social Enterprise Dynamic Purchasing System (SEDPS). This procurement initiative invites organisations with social objectives to provide goods and/or services to National Highways, their supply chain, and other government departments across England. The SEDPS, initially launched on 14th August 2023, will now be extended until 14th August 2028, adding two more years to its original three-year duration. The procurement process is in the tender stage and employs a restricted procedure, suitable for above-threshold selective procurement. It covers a wide array of industry categories, including food and beverages, office furniture, signage, engineering and construction works, document management services, and more. Organisations can deliver services across various regions in the United Kingdom, from London to Scotland and Wales, ensuring broad geographical coverage and inclusivity.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Participating businesses can benefit from long-term contracts and diversifying their clientele by providing goods or services to multiple government bodies. By joining the SEDPS, social enterprises can align with National Highways' commitment to social value, leveraging surpluses to benefit the community rather than maximising profit. Suitable businesses include those offering catering supplies, landscaping work, architectural services, cleaning and sanitation products, and various consultancy services. This initiative not only fosters business development but also promotes ethical practices and community reinvestment, making it an advantageous venture for socially responsible enterprises.

## Notice

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=.

If you are interested in using the SEDPS or would like further information, please contact the National Highways Procurement Team at socialenterprisedps@nationalhighways.co.uk.
