## Summary

National Highways is actively seeking organisations to apply to the Social Enterprise Dynamic Purchasing System (SEDPS) to provide goods or services across the UK. The expansion project covers areas such as signage within the broader category of goods. With procurement initiation in the tender stage, applications for the SEDPS opened on 14th August 2023. It encompasses regions across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, providing services to government agencies, public bodies, and local authorities. Businesses interested in contributing to the Social Enterprise initiatives are encouraged to apply before its deadline. Key dates include the recent update on 19th March 2025, with amendments highlighting inclusion criteria and regional expansion efforts.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for social enterprises, primarily those with reinvested surpluses, to collaborate with National Highways and its extensive network. Organisations providing various goods and services, with a demonstrated commitment to social value, are well-suited to participate. The procurement method leverages a selective (restricted) procedure, ensuring that businesses aligning with social objectives can contribute to essential public services. Categories such as environmental services, project management, and professional consultancy are ideal areas where businesses can leverage their expertise to foster growth while supporting community-focused objectives. This initiative underlines National Highways' dedication to social value, potentially unlocking further collaborations and increasing visibility for your enterprise within the public sector.

## Notice

National Highways is inviting organisation's 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, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The SEDPS is available to organisation's 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. We have enabled this DPS to allow our supply chain and other government departments to procure the Goods and/or Services that these organisation's offer. The use of the SEDPS is to further National Highways' commitment to social value, in support of National Highways Social Value Plan. A link to the plan can be found below. https://nationalhighways.co.uk/media/tdog2fma/ccs0622297296-003_social-value-strategy-report_final.pdf Applications will open on the 14th August 2023. 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/
