Public Sector: Procurement
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what criteria will his Department use to measure social value when undertaking procurement rounds.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Public procurement is a key lever for enabling delivery of the Government’s missions by using procurement policy to drive economic growth, raise employment standards, and achieve additional social value through the life of a contract. The Government’s ‘Plan to Make Work Pay’ sets out an ambitious programme to value organisations that create local jobs, skills and wealth and treat their workers well and equally. Ministers are considering how to take these plans forward.
