Managing and measuring social value
Social Value in the Built Environment Industry Briefing 2020
download the reportThe long-term wellbeing and resilience of our communities has never been more critical, and the world of social value is maturing rapidly. Organisations can no longer afford to ignore the communities in which they work. Investors and clients are holding their supply chain to higher standards of accountability, with robust measurement and reporting requirements focusing on long-term, evidence based outcomes.
In late 2020, the Government published its Social Value Model in the Procurement Policy Note 06/20 (PPN 06/20). It subsequently published guidance on exactly how to use the Model, and metrics to measure impact. This has the useful effect of defining exactly how organisations can implement the Public Services (Social value) Act 2012.
The PPN06/20 requires central government procurement to explicitly evaluate social value, with a minimum 10% weighting of score put on the topic. It has provided some form of standardisation around the topic of social value, helping contracting authorities and their supply chains to better understand what they can do to generate it.
