Social Value Tendering
We’re here to help you win work and deliver impact that matters.
Social Value Tendering is now a vital part of procurement for housing providers, local authorities, and public sector organisations across the UK, especially in Wales.
At Cyd Innovation, we help organisations embed meaningful Social Value strategy into their bids, turning good intentions into clear, measurable commitments that win contracts and deliver real-world impact.
What is Social Value Tendering?
Social Value Tendering means showing how your project will create wider benefits alongside your core work.
Public sector buyers expect to see social value strategy built into your tender response with clear actions, targets, and evidence.
It’s about demonstrating to buyers:
- How will this project create local jobs and skills?
- How will it support small businesses or local supply chains?
- How will it improve the environment or reduce carbon?
- How will it support wellbeing and social inclusion?
- How will it leave a positive legacy for the community?
Why Social Value Matters in Procurement
The law is clear. Social Value is not optional.
This means projects funded by the public purse must deliver additional benefits that go beyond the contract requirements.
Key Drivers Include:
- Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012
- Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015
- Welsh Government Community Benefits Policy
- Net Zero procurement expectations
