A better road, a better world

摘要

In 2015 Manchester City Council increased its weighting for social value considerations in its procurement process from 10% to 20% - with 40% given to quality and 40% given to cost - helping to ensure companies and organisations bidding for contracts have to give social value serious consideration. The Manchester City Council Social Value Toolkit states: 'Potential suppliers will be scored on their "offer" back to Manchester's residents which can be either as: "Social Value in Kind". Depending on the size and nature of the contract this could range from offering a work experience placement to a high school student to agreeing to take on a number of apprentices as part of a large scale construction programme. Or where suitable "Social Value Fund". Offering cash contribution in lieu of offering "Social Value in Kind".'
