Webinar: Maximising Social Value in Procurement: A Practical Workshop for Public Sector Buyers
This practical workshop for public sector buyers covers how to embed social value requirements into procurement processes, co-delivered by Socitm, Crown Commercial Service, and the Social Value Engine.
Thursday 23 October, 9:30 – 11:00AM. A practical workshop on Social Value in Procurement, co-delivered by Socitm, Crown Commercial Service and the Social Value Engine.
The Social Value Engine took part in a virtual workshop hosted by Socitm, in partnership with the Crown Commercial Service (CCS).
The 90-minute session was designed for public sector buyers who wanted to build confidence in how they measure and evaluate social value through procurement.
The session explored the current policy landscape and provided an overview of commonly used tools, including TOMs (Themes, Outcomes, Measures), SROI (Social Return on Investment), and the Impact Evaluation Standard.
From our side, Maddie Kortenaar and Jennifer Jefferson from East Riding of Yorkshire Council shared insights into how meaningful measurement can support better commissioning and clearer outcomes.
As public procurement continues to evolve, so too must the way we approach social value, ensuring that what we measure is relevant, credible, and rooted in real impact. The workshop was a valuable opportunity to reflect on current organisational approaches, ask questions, and learn from others working to embed social value in a practical and proportionate way.
The session took place on Thursday 23 October, from9:30 to 11:00AM, viaMicrosoft Teams.
