The purpose of this study was to study of features and evaluate the contractual relations of social entrepreneurship entities working in the field of healthcare in Kazakhstan to cover their contribution to improving the quality of medical services, as well as their accessibility to the population. The study employed the following methods of cognition: system approach, comparative legal method, and hermeneutic method. The study considered the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of social entrepreneurship and healthcare, the basis of their contractual cooperation. It was found that regulations prescribe certain measures of state support for individual entrepreneurs and organisations engaged in social entrepreneurship. These include tax incentives to encourage employment initiatives, priority rights to take part in public procurement, and the possibility of receiving grants and microcredits. However, it should be emphasised that these measures are fragmented and informal, which in general does not contribute to the structural and systemic development of social entrepreneurship. Regarding contractual relations, it was found that the basis of social entrepreneurs’ involvement in state social contracts is through contracts for the provision of services or goods, as well as the conclusion of outsourcing contracts. The study analysed cases of social entrepreneurship in Kazakhstan, their specific features and problems. The study concluded that social entrepreneurship in Kazakhstan is a modern economic trend, despite the presence of relevant legislation, it faces a range of problems that hinder its development. The practical significance of this study is to provide an in-depth understanding of the structure and effectiveness of social entrepreneursʼ interaction in this field and highlight concrete practical aspects that contribute to the development and optimisation of social entrepreneurship in healthcare in the Kazakh economic environment.
