A journey through social value for procurement, looking at how to table it well in tenders and how to ensure that you get what you ask for and avoid over promises from the market. We'll take a look at how social value can be contract managed and measured using social meaurement as well as financial.
At this workshop we'll also give insights into marketplace feedback on the challenges and opportunities of social value, discussing how we can maximise social impact and harness the talent and capability of the market.
We'll include carbon reduction and sustainability as part of the Social Value discussion
We'll include some case studies of examples of great and perhaps not so great social value questions and explore how to write social impact into a specification and then tailor questions accordingly.
