We will use consistent tools, frameworks and practices to communicate value drivers to the market and embed social value in what we buy. Social value should be explicitly evaluated in all central government procurement, where the requirements are related and proportionate to the subject- matter of the contract.
From January 2021, a minimum weighting of 10% of the total score for social value should be applied in the procurement to ensure that it will be a differentiating factor in bid evaluation and a higher weighting can be applied if justified. The priority policy themes and outcomes for central government and further information is set out in PPN 06/20
