About the project:
The BSI project ran from July 2018 to January 2020 and had 2 objectives:
1. encourage contracting authorities to use public procurement to pursue social goals;
2. increase the capacity of social economy enterprises to take part in public procurement procedures and to access new markets.
Actions were targeted at contracting authorities and social economy enterprises and organisations in the following 15 countries: Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, Latvia, The Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Sweden.
The project team looked at how the social aspects of the new EU Public Procurement Directive (2014/24/EU) were transposed at national level, identified good practices on socially responsible public procurement (SRPP), and mapped the capacity of social economy enterprises to access markets.
Project outputs:
