Join us for a webinar focused on helping community energy organisations understand public sector procurement in the North East and Yorkshire. It will explore how effective procurement can recognise social value and ensure strong local delivery partnerships between local authorities and community energy enterprises.

Why attend?

Community energy organisations, local authorities and regional partners increasingly share aligned goals around local energy and net zero. To deliver projects together, organisations need a clear understanding of public procurement processes and how to navigate them effectively.

This webinar will share insights into:

• Different types of procurement, i.e. direct award, competitive tenders, frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems.
• How to demonstrate the social impact of community energy initiatives within procurement.
• Approaches to collaborating with local suppliers, local authorities, anchor organisations and community energy organisations.
• Examples demonstrating procurement that results in community wealth building, delivering local economic, social and environmental benefits.

Who’s this for?

Whether you’re involved in community energy delivery, policy, local authorities, local net zero planning or supply chains, this session will help you understand how procurement processes can enable community energy partnerships to build community wealth.
