Watch our latest Procurement on Demand webinar that provides insight into what Social Value in procurement is. The webinar will consider the legal obligations surrounding social value in public procurement, when to consider it and how to measure it.
Social value in procurement is about making sure that what you buy creates additional benefits for society.
Social value is traditionally applied as part of a community, local, or regional contract. A local authority commissioning a built environment regeneration project may require the companies bidding for the work to state what social benefits they would offer to the area, should they win the contract. These could include a commitment to employing local people, offering a number of apprenticeships, or supporting the growth of responsible local businesses.
