Social Value: The What, Why & How

An ability to create social value is of growing importance to companies in all sectors of our economy including construction. Government legislation in the form of the ‘Public Services (Social Value) Act (2013)’ i effectively mandates the provision of social value by organisations which are appointed to deliver public sector contracts, such as National Highways providing road infrastructure for the UK, while private sector companies are increasingly asking suppliers to evidence what social value they provide as part of their procurement and tender processes.
