Social Value Strategy and Bid Response Consulting (PPN 06/20)
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important. The increasing resource pressures and growing awareness of from customers and investors have meant that this is now an important issue, not to be discussed in a couple of years time.
Sustainability goes beyond compliance in dealing with sustainability as a key business driver. We have the experience and training to help you identify the issues, suggest solutions and bring new cost-effective ideas to the table.
With the introduction of the Procurement Act 2023 which requires all UK public sector departments to include social value in their tenders, it is now an integral part of a winning bid strategy. We can offer effective commercial support to develop a winning social value strategy and bid response.
