Share of public procurement (in number) incorporating at least one social consideration per purchasing sector

A social consideration is defined as taking into account the challenges of social progress in the act of purchase. The social dimension is understood in the broad sense, in relation to the service ordered, such as the integration of people far from employment and people with disabilities, the fight against discrimination, in particular the promotion of equality between women and men; compliance with ethical (respect for human rights, etc.) or fair requirements, performance in the protection or training of employees …

The integration of a social consideration into a market takes the form of the integration of a social clause and/or criterion or the reservation of the market.

The indicator represents the share (in number) of public contracts incorporating at least one social consideration, in %.

Perimeter: Hexagon and overseas.
Each contract is linked to a grid according to the level of collectivity of the buyer, and not the place of performance of the contract. The level of authority, determined by INSEE, is retrieved from the business directory.

The buyers taken into account are local authorities, with a valid SIRET. For example: within the municipality, the contracts taken into account are only those awarded by the municipality itself, contracts awarded by buyers located in the municipality are not taken into account.

The indicator is calculated independently for each of the four territorial grids (municipality, EPCI, department, region) and cannot be consolidated from one grid to another. Thus, an indicator with a regional grid is not obtained by aggregating the indicators of the sub-regional grids.
- At the regional level, only purchasers of the ‘Region’ or ‘Overseas Region’ level of authority with a valid SIRET are taken into account.
- At the departmental level, only purchasers at the ‘Department’ or ‘Department of Overseas France’ level with a valid SIRET are taken into account.
- At the EPCI level, only purchasers at the ‘EPCI’ or ‘Metropole’ level with a valid SIRET are taken into account.
- At the municipal level, only ‘Commune’ or ‘City’ purchasers with a valid SIRET are taken into account.

The date of the measure is the date of notification of the contract.

Axes/dimensions: The indicator is available by purchasing sector. For each sector, it corresponds to the ratio between the number of contracts in that sector incorporating at least one social consideration and the total number of contracts in that sector.

To obtain the share of markets incorporating at least one social consideration across all sectors, it is necessary to recalculate the ratio. To do this, the sum of the numerators (number of contracts with social consideration) must be divided by the sum of the denominators (total number of contracts) for all sectors for the same buyer and for the same measurement year. Be careful not to aggregate the percentages by sector, this would lead to a false result.

This indicator must be contained in the Socially and Ecologically Responsible Public Procurement Promotion Scheme (SPASER) for buyers subject to the implementation of a SPASER by Article L. 2111-3 of the Public Order Code. Consult the technical sheet on SPASER of the Directorate of Legal Affairs of the Ministry of Economy, or the website purchases-durables.gouv.fr to learn more.

Attention, the data used to constitute this indicator are still unreliable (many contracts are not yet counted in the open data), its values should be checked before any use.
