Webinar: Embedding VCSEs and Raising Social Value Standards in Local Procurement
With the new Procurement Act now in force, councils and housing associations have a major opportunity to set a new benchmark for social value delivery. But unlocking that potential requires collaboration – not just compliance.
This webinar brings together Social Value Quality Mark (SVQM) and whatimpact – the National Social Value Marketplace® to show how local authorities can embed social value principles, forge high-impact partnerships, and evidence real outcomes through data, accreditation, and digital tools.
Together, we’ll explore how to:
- Integrate social value principles across procurement frameworks.
- Build trusted partnerships with VCSEs and local suppliers.
- Measure, evidence, and report meaningful outcomes aligned with the Procurement Act’s intent.
Why Attend
This isn’t another policy update. It’s a practical session built around real examples of councils that are raising standards, improving partnerships, and creating measurable community outcomes.
You’ll leave with a clear picture of what “better” looks like – and how to make it happen in your own authority.
We look forward to having you attend the event!
