SUMMARY:Shaping Social Value Through VCSE Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we’ll explore how suppliers\, VCSEs and contracting authorities can collaborate earlier in the procurement process to create tangible\, contract-specific plans that back up KPIs with measurable actions. \nDelivering meaningful Social Value requires more than set targets. Many commitments rely on\, and are strengthened by\, partnerships between suppliers and VCSEs. Strong relationships\, transparent delivery processes\, and credible reporting pathways are essential to achieving genuine\, lasting impact through contracts. \nYet in practice\, challenges persist. VCSE partners can be difficult to identify during fast-paced bidding processes\, leaving suppliers to make assumptions. Contracting authorities often struggle to evaluate vague delivery plans and to distinguish realistic\, achievable bids. They frequently lack insight into the true outcomes their procurement generates. \nThis webinar\, hosted by Social Value Portal and whatimpact\, will introduce a practical\, end-to-end approach to overcoming these challenges. Together\, we’ll explore how suppliers\, VCSEs\, and contracting authorities can collaborate earlier in the process to create tangible\, contract-specific plans that back up KPIs with measurable actions. The discussion will also highlight how this partnership enables Social Value to be both deliverable and demonstrably measurable. \nThe session will include: \n\nAn end-to-end approach: how earlier and stronger collaboration improves outcomes\nPanel discussion: perspectives from VCSEs and procurement/bidding organisations\nAudience Q&A: your opportunity to ask questions and explore how these approaches can be applied in practice\n\nSpeakers: \nMelissa Milner\, Director of External Affairs and Partnerships\, Catch22\nAlison Watson\, Founder & CEO\, Class of Your Own\nTiia Sammallahti\, CEO\, whatimpact\nAnna McChesney-Gordon\, Chief Strategy Officer\, Social Value Portal
