Description:
Measuring social value in tenders is an increasingly essential practice, especially for organisations operating within or supplying to the public sector, including the NHS and broader healthcare system. For sustainability and environmental professionals, incorporating social value into procurement ensures that contracts deliver meaningful, measurable benefits beyond financial return—supporting goals such as local employment, community wellbeing, carbon reduction, and ethical supply chains.
For corporate partners of IEMA, particularly those working in or with the NHS or other public bodies, understanding how to align tenders with national and local social value priorities is key.
