Suppliers Employing the Severely Disabled
The Government introduced Special Contracts Arrangements (SCAs) in 1994. These help eligible non-profit-making suppliers and workshops, with severely disabled people making up more than 50 per cent of the workforce, within the European Union and European Economic Area, to compete for government business.
DfT buyers receive a catalogue of products and services available from SCA suppliers and are encouraged, in line with government policy, to include them on relevant tender lists. If you want to register your organisation for the scheme, or find out more about it, contact Job Centre Plus
