14 Agenda Issues with SV Act Addressing the SV Act issues Case studies of benefits obtained Measuring SV Discussion

15 What are the issues in delivering Social Value? There are restrictions on seeking SV in contracts:- Must be relevant to the requirements of the contract Only applies to certain contracts May not discriminate e.g. cannot say apprenticeships may only be offered to local residents only As a result can be difficult to seek good SV offerings from bidders in tenders and makes it complicated for commissioners/procurers

16 Delivering Social Value through Procurement Addressing the SV Act - 1 Social Value Policy provides golden thread Strategic Political Operational Engaging with Members very important link directly to Council Plan Standardising SV in all procurements over K Adopting a non-prescriptive approachsetting out areas where contractors might be able to assist deliver our aims

17 Addressing the Act -2 Incentivising SV offers from contractors by allocating a percentage of the quality/price score in procurements to SV e.g. Coventry 10% Birmingham 10-15%, Hounslow 20% Manchester 30% Need to enable bidders to submit their SV offers in an open, fair and transparent way. Contract management very important to ensure SV offers are delivered and benefits realised Develop dashboards so Members, residents etc can be informed about what has been achieved.
