Social Procurement Toolkit Introduction

Toolkit - Extension of the Guide

The toolkit is an extension of the Victorian Government’s Social Procurement: A Guide for Victorian Local Government (the guide) (Word 1.6 MB) or (PDF 1.1 MB), which was developed to support Victorian councils to increase their capacity to deliver effective social outcomes through their procurement processes.  The guide provides an excellent high-level information overview of social procurement and was the first social procurement guide of its kind in Australia.

Purpose of Toolkit

The toolkit provides councils with information, guidance notes and templates as part of a practical step-by-step guide for incorporating social procurement into every stage of a procurement project, including:

 

    

 
Stage 1
          

Establishing a Social Procurement Environment



Stage 2

Becoming ‘Social Procurement Ready’



Stage 3

Social Procurement Planning



Stage 4

Procurement Documentation



Stage 5

Implementation

 

All stages are exemplified by Victorian, national and international case studies.
Please note that papers are evolving and will be updated as the need arises.
