Social value in procurement
New Local Government Network 8 May 2017
  • The Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 came into force on 31 January 2013. It requires commissioners in public authorities to think about how the services or goods to be procured and the process of procurement could add the most value to the areas and communities that fall within their remit. This publication follows an NLGN discussion that looked at the challenges posed by the Social Value Act.
