Refering to contractual agreements established within the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) that extend beyond the traditional focus on financial considerations. These contracts prioritise the incorporation of social, environmental, and community benefits alongside the provision of healthcare services. By emphasising broader societal value, such as job creation, community engagement, environmental sustainability, and local economic development, these contracts aim to maximise positive impacts on a wider scale while delivering essential healthcare services to the public. This approach aligns with the NHS’s commitment to responsible procurement and its role as a catalyst for positive change within the communities it serves.
