The Social Impact Framework provides a route to market for public sector organisations to commission services that improve social outcomes and address health inequalities.
It supports the commissioning of services that influence the wider determinants of health - the social and environmental factors that affect people’s wellbeing, such as housing, employment, education, community support and access to services.
The framework enables NHS organisations, Integrated Care Boards, local authorities and other public sector partners to identify organisations delivering these services and procure them in a fair and transparent way.
Rather than running a full procurement process each time a service is required, public bodies can use the framework to access organisations that have already been assessed and approved.
The framework is now approaching its first reopening, which will provide an opportunity for additional organisations to apply to join the framework.
