How does it work?
When we commission goods, services, and works we will consider how that commission can bring more social value benefits to our community.
Social value is a key part of the tender process, especially with our larger contracts.
We evaluate the offer of social value based on ‘additionality’ (what will be provided over and above the core contract).
Organisations who promise to provide a high level of social value are more likely to be awarded contracts than those who offer little social value.
