Bespoke Training: Embedding and Evaluating Social Value

Learn How To Demonstrate Your Organisation’s Social Value Contribution

Overview

Social value is becoming an increasingly important feature of public-sector activity. The requirement from January 2021 for central government departments to ensure that all major procurements evaluate the social value, demonstrates the shift from focusing on cost to value.

Given this, it is now more essential than ever, that your organisation embeds the principles of social value and ensures any activity has a positive impact on society.

This Embedding and Evaluating Social Value course outlines the recent procurement changes to social value and will help your teams to gain a better understanding of how social value principles can aid your organisation.

Run this course at your organisation to learn the different measurement methods, such as Social Return on Investment (SROI); understand impact and reporting techniques; gain best practice from relevant public sector examples, and apply the learned tools.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand the recent procurement reforms to social value

  • Learn more about the most effective approaches to measuring social value
