Social Value for SMEs

Social value is no longer optional - it’s a key factor in winning contracts, particularly in the public sector.

This workshop, delivered by Kevin Mullin - social value manager at First Bus in Rochdale, will include:

• Demystifying social value – what it means and why it matters now
• Practical, proportionate approaches – simple ways to evidence impact without complex systems
• Where SMEs already add value – and how you can build on it
• Procurement trends – why social value is increasingly decisive in bids
• Hands-on exercise – identify your current social value and how to present it effectively
• Optional follow-up – creating a one-page Social Value Statement.
