Bureau Social Return
How does Social Return work in Amsterdam? What should I consider, and what rules apply? What are the possibilities? Below, for those interested, is an explanation and links to the most important and recent documents that form the framework of Amsterdam's Social Return policy and implementation:
CSR and Social Return
Amsterdam annually procures over €2.8 billion. With each (major) tender, societal impact, where applicable, is considered. The municipality can contribute to the city's development through the products and services it procures. The primary focus of the council is on six societal procurement themes: sustainability, health, inclusion and diversity, innovation, regional and SMEs, and social. This is documented in the vision on socially responsible procurement and commissioning (CSR), 'Procurement and Commissioning with Influence.'
Social Return is one of the societal themes. In Amsterdam, Social Return is applied above the European threshold for services. The concrete implementation is included in the Guide to Social Contracting. The guide serves as a guide for clients and contractors of the municipality of Amsterdam.
