Key Highlights:

In 2020 the government announced all Government Awarded Contracts from 1st January 2021 now require a minimum of 10% weighting on social value as part of PPN06/20.

It is becoming more important to consider using suppliers in your supply chain that add Social Value and have a positive impact on the community. We must be considering how companies do things, such as:

  • Engaging with the local community
  • Using social enterprises
  • Having apprenticeship schemes
  • Supporting local businesses
  • Having sustainable and environmentally friendly practices

Social Enterprise:

A Social Enterprise is a business that receives most of its income from trade providing goods and services but has a social mission or profit lock. This means a proportion of its profit goes directly to fund its social mission which could also include charities, co-ops and B-corps.

With Constructionline:

Verified Social Enterprises can apply for Free Constructionline Gold membership including SSIP. This makes it easier for buyers to find Social Enterprises to add to their supply chain and improve their Social Value.

Constructionline helps Social Enterprises get recognised for their quality and impact without worrying about fees. It also helps to de-risk Social Enterprises for buyers without compromising on quality.
