Who is competent?

In order to quickly see who is authorized to make decisions in certain cases, a mandate register has been created. The mandate register is not a formal decision but an aid to see who is authorized to make decisions. The mandate register is based on the underlying (sub)mandate decisions.

Social Return on Investment (SROI).

Through Social Return on Investment, as a contractor of the municipality, you help job seekers and apprentices find a job or apprenticeship. You use a percentage of the tender sum for your contract for this purpose. The percentage applicable to your contract can be found in the request for proposal, selection or tender instructions.

When interpreting Social Return, the municipality of Zoetermeer applies the 'building blocks method'. The essence of the building blocks method is that the entrepreneur has more freedom in the interpretation of Social Return. As a contractor, you can put together your own package of Social Return building blocks, which should ultimately represent a value of your SROI obligation.

You can read more about the building block method in the document below.
