The Scedu (Sheffield Community Enterprise Development Unit) Tender Readiness Toolkit was released in March 2006 as a practical resource for social enterprises looking at procurement. The Tender Readiness Toolkit was adopted by many leading social enterprises since its launch, and received warm backing from across the public sector and social enterprise sector nationally and locally in South Yorkshire. ==Background== The issue of procurement was particularly important in South Yorkshire as many mainstream funding opportunities were diminishing with the end of the Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) and the European Union's expansion leading to a decrease in Objective 1 Structural funds. Sheffield City Council approved a report in April 2004 entitled ''A policy for the expansion of opportunities for social enterprises through public procurement and planning policies'' which outlined the council's ambition for a mixed economy of provision through procurement: ''"A thriving social enterprise sector in the city is also a mechanism for bringing excluded groups into the labour market, raising skill levels and increasing future employability, which in turn improves the quality of life for the individuals concerned and their families and helps to secure the sustainability of communities."'' This built upon Central Government's ''(The National Procurement Strategy for Local Government )'' (2003) which spelt out that effective procurement would help local authorities to achieve their Community/City Plan objectives. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scedu Tender Readiness Toolkit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
