For SMEs aiming to win public sector contracts, social value is no longer just an add-on—it’s essential. The Social Value Act 2012 requires suppliers to demonstrate their impact on communities, the environment, and local economies. Similarly, winning corporate contracts require social value to be demonstrated in terms of responsible recruitment and ethical sourcing. By focusing on measurable social impact, your business can stand out in the competitive public sector landscape and strengthen your bid success. Join us for this insightful session and discover how social value can give your bids a competitive edge.
