Most companies spend millions on ESG consultants while their procurement teams reject every innovative social enterprise.


We fix that.


SPL Partners has teamed up with Telos to make social procurement real. Not a checkbox. Not a report. Real suppliers delivering real value.



The Partnership


SPL brings

17 years of procurement expertise. We know how to break down the barriers that keep social enterprises out.


Telos brings

Europe's leading social enterprise ecosystem. Verified suppliers ready to compete.


Together

We help you buy from businesses that strengthen communities while strengthening your supply chain.


    Why Now?


    • UK Procurement Act (Feb 2025): Social value is now mandatory for public sector

    • EU reforms (2026): Same direction across Europe

    • Your competitors: Already building exclusive partnerships while you debate


    The numbers don't lie:


    • 131,000 UK social enterprises, £78bn turnover

    • Corporate engagement: Less than 1%

    • Your opportunity: Get there first

    Our Focus


    Building the DACH social procurement ecosystem. Making it practical for businesses who want to:


    • Diversify supply chains

    • Meet ESG targets through buying, not talking

    • Find suppliers their competitors don't know exist



    The Brutal Truth


    Every day you wait, another social enterprise gives up trying to work with corporates.


    Every RFP that demands 3 years of accounts blocks tomorrow's innovation.


    Every "we can't justify the premium" kills resilience you'll desperately need.
