Social Value

The UK Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 has resulted in phenomenal momentum towards enacting social value amongst government, businesses and their stakeholders. For many sectors, it’s now a formal requirement to implement social value in their procurement strategies. Social value is an opportunity to move away from reducing the negative to enhancing the positive by making an impact on people’s lives.
