The Social Value Model
The Social Value Model is a framework that UK public bodies use to evaluate how the businesses they award procurement contracts to affect society. It came into force following the Covid-19 pandemic.
The guide describes how to use the Social Value Model. Commercial practitioners at all levels within central government departments, executive agencies and non-departmental public bodies must use this guide when implementing the Model in all stages of the procurement lifecycle. As well as commercial practitioners, this guide will also be useful to those whose role includes finance, policy or planning and delivering procurements. It will help those who manage contracts understand how to account for social value throughout the procurement lifecycle, especially at the pre-procurement stage.
