Social enterprises are businesses that trade to intentionally tackle social problems,
improve communities, provide people access to employment and training, or help
the environment.
A Social Traders certified social enterprise:
1. Has a defined primary social, cultural or environmental purpose consistent with a public or community
benefit
2. Derives a substantial portion of their income from trade; and
3. Invests efforts and resources into its purpose such that public/community benefit outweighs private
benefit

Local Governments  Anchor Institution
Anchors are organisations and institutions based in a place -
whether that be a suburb, town, city or region - for the long
term, with a mission or purpose that is tightly connected to that
place. They are significant because they are among the largest
employers and spenders in that place, and can align their
resources (e.g. HR, estates, construction, facilities, financial
assets, procurement) to benefit the community in which they
are anchored (beyond their core services).

Market approach
Direct
Buying directly from a certified social
enterprise that is delivering on the objectives
(or Indigenous Business, Disability Enterprise,
etc)
 When there is a relevant supply market
 Can simplify monitoring of social outcomes
through contract management
Indirect
Where the buyer engages a
mainstream/commercial supplier and
requires them to deliver social outcomes
through the process. This can include
requiring spend with social enterprise.
 When there is not a relevant supply market
 Can include a mixed field of social
enterprise and commercial
 Usually more complex social indicator
measurement and monitoring

Sourcing Strategies
No Strategy When to Apply
1 UNBUNDLE SE supply market does not have the capacity to meet scope
2 BUNDLE Size of scope needs to be increased to enable a sustainable social solution (or to maximise social impact)
3 EXPRESSION OF INTEREST Limited knowledge of how social impact could be addresses and/ or desire to encourage innovation
4 SOURCE FROM SE/IB ONLY Known SE supplier/s with current capability and where internal processes allow selective sourcing
5 EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR SOCIAL IMPACT Looking for all participants to demonstrate social value  desire to send message to the market on
importance of social value to organisation
6 EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR SUBCONTRACTING TO SE/IB The category/ project does not support direct SE purchasing, but Tier 1/ Tier 2 suppliers can be
mandated/ encouraged to incorporate SEs in their supply chain
7 INCORPORATE SE/IBS INTO OPEN PANELS Panels are a key sourcing tool used by the business with there is an opportunity to encourage/ enable SE
to participate
8 ESTABLISH SE/IBS ONLY PANELS SE capacity and diversity in selected category enables SE only panels and this approach is supported by
internal policy
9 SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT Relationships and structured SRM processes enable engagement with existing long-term suppliers to
explore social impact opportunities
10 PARTNERSHIPS A specific match of SE supplier capability, a pipeline of work and internal openness to partnering
Long-term opportunities for innovation around shared social objectives

a real example or something realistic in the future.
