Opportunity Harlow Lunch Meeting: Social Value – What it Means and its Growing Importance in Procurement

Helen will share what social value means in practice for small and medium sized businesses. With more emphasis placed on social value in the public sector, Helen will explain the importance of including social value in the bidding process and how smaller businesses must be able to provide the social, economic and environmental benefits of their plans.

Who is this event for?

Small and medium-sized businesses in Harlow that want to learn more about the social value requirements and expectations from larger business and organisations in the bid process.

Learning Outcomes:

• What social value means in practice.
• What larger businesses and organisations look for from their suppliers on social value.
• What you should be thinking about now (rather than awaiting an invitation to tender to arrive).
