Social Value &
Ethical Procurement

Social Value & Ethical Procurement

In the UK Public Sector, as per PPN (06/20), it is now a mandatory requirement for Social Value to represent a minimum of 10% of any tender evaluation score. Effective Procurement with Social Value embedded at its core is critical to achieving this.

This Course will provide delegates with a thorough understanding of the Social Value Act, where it needs to sit strategically within an organisation and how it effects every stage of the Procurement cycle from identification of need through to effective contract management.

Are you confident that there is no element of Modern Slavery in your Supply Chain? Statistics suggest that over 40 Million people are enslaved globally across over 100 countries – including the UK.

This element of the course is designed to help delegates understand Modern Day Slavery and the 2015 Act, how it affects all Organisations and their Procurement activity and what you can do to prevent / eliminate Modern Day Slavery from occurring in your Supply Chain.

The Course will also provide all delegates with the models, tools, techniques, processes etc. to enable them to return to their Organisations and effectively implement change.

Who Should Attend?

All positions within the Organisation with a responsibility to deliver Social Value, including all involved in the Procurement cycle; Client departments; Procurement; Contract Management – to name but a few!

Stakeholders and delegates from all across the Public Sector organisation are encouraged to attend to support the cultural drive of each Public Sector body towards this critical Act.

For all delegates to:

  •  Fully understand the Social Value Act 2012, what is covered and how it applies to the Procurement activities of the Organisation.
  •  Have an appreciation and consider how far Social Value has been embraced and embedded into the Culture of their Organisation and what (if any) steps are required to enhance this.
  •  Have an understanding of where Social Value sits in the Procurement Cycle. This will be covered in detail with a number of bespoke exercises being undertaken.
  •  Understand the importance of Effective Stakeholder management, engagement and communication to secure “buy-in” to support success.

Our trainers are all FCIPS / MCIPS qualified teachers who have extensive experience of Negotiations across numerous industries and within the Public Sector, including Local Authorities, Civil Service, NHS, Education and others . Collectively our training team have delivered across all levels to hundreds of delegates, both domestic and Global, over the last decade.

The course will be extremely participative and exercise driven, with many relevant examples and anecdotes provided to bring practice and theory to life.

Upon completion of this course every delegate will be able to:

  • Understand the Social Value Act 2012 and how it applies to the Procurement activities of their Organisation.
  •  Be able to demonstrate how Social Value should cascade from their Organisations’ Mission / Vision Statement(s) through to the Individual Objectives of employees and the importance of ownership.
