Welcome
Market Engagement and the
Procurement Process
Creation of the Good Practice Guide for Commissioning,
Contract Management, Grant Funding and Procurement
A collaboration between Suffolk County Council and the
Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS)
Endorsement by Suffolk Chamber of Commerce & The
Federation of Small Businesses.
“In order to achieve the service user’s stated outcomes,
good practice requires that each partner is involved in
designing, specifying, contracting, funding and
monitoring service delivery and improvement”
Testing the Guide
 A review of a number of commissioning
transactions
 Market Engagement exercises to test how

Outcomes
The Public Services (Social Value)
Act 2012
Public bodies now have to consider how the services they
commission and procure improve the economic, social and
environmental well-being of the area.
It also applies to pre-procurement because it can inform the
whole shape and design of the service
“social value is about maximising the additional benefit that can
be created when procuring or commissioning goods and services,
above and beyond merely the benefit of the goods and services
themselves” (Chris White MP)
