We have developed this webinar for organisations who are working or wish to work in the Public Sector and/or want to understand social value better and learn how to develop an approach to social contribution through your business.
Social and environmental impact is a growing priority in private sector competitions and so this workshop will help businesses who are seeking to increase their knoweldge in this area to support growth generally.
The Public Services Act requires commissioners in the public sector to consider social outcomes in everything they spend. Over the last few years, Social Value considerations in procurement have been steadily receiving more scrutiny and importance. With the impending changes to the regulatory environment, this is only set to increase traction further. Now is a good time to understand how you can contribute socially through your core business.
We will explore how to practically develop the social value narrative of your organisation, work out what's important for you, and how to communicate it. We'll reference back to the TOMs (Themes, Outcomes and Measures) and SDG's (Sustainable Development Goals ) which are good reference models regardless of which sector your prospective client is in.
