Organisations that commit to providing social value change communities for the better
Delivering social value has been an essential element of the procurement process since the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 which required all public sector commissioning bodies to “consider” the “economic, environmental and social wellbeing of their population through their procurement activities”.
Under this Act, when scoring bids, the public sector awards up to 10% of marks for social value – a margin that can make the difference between success and failure – butmeeting this requirementin tender responses can be challenging for suppliers.
