Social Value
A modest, credible statement of our current position on social value, and our openness to strengthening this through specific public-sector opportunities.
We recognise the importance of social value in public-sector procurement and the wider benefit of working responsibly within local communities.
Where relevant and proportionate to the opportunity, we are open to discussions around local delivery, responsible service coordination, and practical ways of supporting community-facing outcomes through the work we undertake.
We prefer to make realistic, specific commitments tailored to the opportunity, rather than making broad claims. Our social value approach is therefore framed as a starting position that can be strengthened through engagement with a specific buyer or programme.
Typical areas of discussion
- Local delivery — using local labour and delivery arrangements where practical.
- Community-facing outcomes — supporting community-related aspects of the works.
- Responsible coordination — planning works with consideration for residents, building users and neighbours.
- Environmental awareness — proportionate attention to waste, materials and energy.
How we work with buyers
Social value framed to the opportunity
Our social value offer is shaped around the specific opportunity rather than presented as a universal claim.
Proportionate
Commitments sized to the scale and nature of the opportunity.
Specific
Clear, measurable commitments where a buyer requires them.
Honest
We would rather commit to less and deliver than overstate.
Developing
An area we expect to strengthen as we grow.
