Description of particular conditions: Social Value
‘The Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 requires the contracting authority to consider:
(a) How what is proposed to be procured might improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of the area where it exercises its functions, and
(b) How, in conducting the process of procurement, it might act with a view to securing that improvement.
Accordingly, this tender will take into account the social value priorities of Surrey County Council relating to the economic, social and environmental well-being of the local area. Delivering social value is about delivering added value. It is not about “business as usual”. It is about deploying economic capacity effectively to secure a significant incremental contribution to society in general and to local communities in particular. For the Council it is a fundamental part of assessing value for money and determining the most economically advantageous tender therefore the Council will be actively seeking partners who share this commitment to social value and who are willing to work pro-actively to deliver social value within the local area.
Proposals received in response to this notice will therefore in part be evaluated on the basis of the tenderer’s approach to delivering social value. Tenderers will be required to submit their social value proposal via the Social Value Portal and detailed guidance will be included in the ITT. Social value priorities are outlined on the portal and tenderers will be required to select and commit to social value measures that are relevant and proportional to their offer and within their capacity and capability to deliver. These measures will be evaluated using the financial proxies on the Portal.
Proposals made at the tendering stage will form a contractual commitment and be monitored using key performance indicators during the contract term.
