Unlocking Social Value: Partnering for People, Places & the Planet

Social value is now a core part of the public procurement landscape in Northern Ireland, following the implementation of the NI Executive’s Social Value in Procurement policy. The policy creates significant opportunities to use Government buying power to deliver benefits for people, places, and the planet.

Throughout this in-person event, buyers, suppliers, and VCSE organisations will share examples of the initiatives they are delivering together—from jobs and work placements to training and skills development, circular approaches to waste, greater inclusion of social enterprises in supply chains, and more.

There will be dedicated time for networking and discussion to support collaboration and spark new partnership opportunities.

We anticipate significant interest in attending this event, therefore tickets are limited to 2 per organisation/company.

The deadline to register to attend is Friday 27th February 2026 at 5pm.
