PAST EVENTS
Event 1: Bid Ready for 2023 (25th Jan 2023)
The topic of this event is bringing together a cross-sector perspective on social value and what it takes to be bid-ready in 2023 – in the changing social value landscape. PPN 06/20 requirements have been taken on now in most government tenders and industries. Tangible, contract related add-on social value plans and related reporting requirements are under scrutiny. What does this mean for the tendering and bidding processes and organisations involved? Additionally, a diverse range of social value frameworks makes it hard to get it right! How to be strategic, yet meet the different social value criteria?
