Social value policy

Our policy on including social value in a tender bid.

Social value derived from procurement is the positive legacy created through the performance of a contract.

There are three categories of social value:

  • social – activities that promote a united community)
  • environmental – efforts to assist the community in reducing waste or pollution)
  • economic – training, employment or apprenticeship opportunities for disadvantaged groups)

The overarching intent of this policy is to set out our approach for doing more than sourcing our supplies at a price that it is competitive and good value for money – it sets our ambition.
