I would like to request any information you have available in written or electronic format in data spreadsheet or Word/text document, regarding procurement and/or tender results decided by the authority, relating to the Social Value (Public Services) Act 2012 – specifically the following:
* The winning organisation’s social value created as a monetary amount, provided as part of their final submission or offer
* The winning organisation’s social value investment amount, or input cost monetary amount, submitted as part of their final submission or offer
* The name of the Social Value framework (if any) utilised by the winning tender for valuations of social value created.
Social Value is integrated into the overall planning for each contract and specifications based on the requirements of the Council – it does not form a specific set of ‘standalone questions which equate directly to a ‘social value’ monetary amount. Each procurement exercise will consider how social value can be built into the tender exercise and contract based on the nature of the contract and the required outcomes and a specific total monetary value for each procurement is not information that is gathered or held.
