Social value and zero carbon supplier guides
We want to work with organisations that will help to improve the wellbeing of people and places in Manchester. We call this approach Social Value and Environmental Sustainability, and it is part of every stage of the process we use to buy supplies and services.
To support our suppliers, we have two guides:
Social Value and Zero Carbon Supplier Quick Guide
A short guide that covers:
- our priorities
- what we look for in tenders
- practical tips for writing strong responses
Social Value and Zero Carbon Supplier Toolkit
A detailed toolkit that also includes:
- examples and templates
- ways to measure outcomes
- case studies from local projects
- advice on how to meet our priorities and deliver real impact
Suppliers can use these toolkits to guide how their work will support Manchester communities and protect the environment.
