On 11 September, ENSIE will join ICLEI’s Big Buyers Working Together – Social Procurement Community of Practice for an online exchange dedicated to advancing social considerations in public procurement. The event, running from 10:30 to 12:00 CEST, will gather practitioners, policy actors, and WISEs to share experiences and challenges in ensuring that procurement contributes to social inclusion and sustainable development.

Discussions will focus on integrating social criteria into tenders, the practical barriers WISEs face in accessing public contracts, and how social impact can be effectively monitored and reported. This dialogue is a unique opportunity to connect buyers and social economy actors, highlight best practices, and strengthen collaboration towards more inclusive procurement systems in Europe.

ENSIE looks forward to bringing the voices of its members to the table and demonstrating the transformative role WISEs play in building fairer labour markets.
