Intelligent thinking, shared learning, enabled services, quality outcomes, best social value for taxpayers

In 2020, the UK Government released its Social Value Model (SVM) with guidance in accordance with Procurement Policy Note 06/20 – taking account of social value in the award of central government contracts

Over a year since publication, Sophie Newbould spends an hour with attendees to reflect on the effectiveness of the SVM, what she likes about it, what remain uncomfortable risks to project teams and shares a some recommendations for the future SVM direction of travel.

This session is geared to project professionals interested in social value in Government technology contracts, whether Authority or supplier side.

The implications apply to all public contract parties, including the tax payers' realisation of best social value for money.
