A Holistic Approach to Social Value Across the Built Environment

The construction industry is committed to delivering Social Value through its contracts and supply chain. A company’s ability to demonstrate the social value it can deliver is rapidly becoming a differentiator when bidding for public contracts.

In this Procure Partnerships Framework lunch & learn, join us and Managing Director of Farm Urban Dr Paul Myers to discuss barriers to delivering holistic, impactful social value and opportunities for the construction industry to collaborate with local social enterprises to maximise value and impact while remaining competitive on price.

Existing approaches can sometimes be disjointed, and it can be difficult to evidence the impact being delivered and stand out as a supplier while remaining competitive on price.

With this comes so many questions – which framework do I use to calculate social value? Do proxy values really mean anything? How do I ensure my supply chain can deliver this? Should the responsibility all fall on the shoulders of the social value manager? Are apprenticeships and talks in schools enough? Can we do more? We aim to answer your burning questions in this hour session.
