SOCIAL VALUE POLICY CHANGES: Shaping Our Collective Response
Social Value Policy Changes: Shaping Our Collective Response
With the recent changes to Social Value scoring criteria, this group has been created to bring together colleagues who will be impacted. The aim is to share facts, discuss potential implications, and develop a collective position while the new definitions and requirements are being established.
Facilitated by: Laing O'Rourke & Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability (University of East London)
Social Value in Practice: PPN 002 Roundtable
SHORT DESCRIPTION
A roundtable exploring the pain points experienced across the Social Value lifecycle and what implementation of the updated PPN 002 Social Value Model looks and feels like in practice.
ABOUT THE EVENT
The University of East London with Laing O'Rourke is exploring how Social Value requirements are interpreted, procured, delivered, managed and experienced across different industries, organisations and roles.
As part of this research, we are bringing together a small and varied group of people for an in-person roundtable at the Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability.
The discussion will focus on the updated PPN 002 Social Value Model and, more broadly, the practical experiences and challenges that arise when organisations seek to turn Social Value commitments into meaningful delivery and measurable outcomes.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
We are keen to hear from anyone whose work is affected by Social Value, including people working in:
Procurement and commercial roles
Social Value strategy, management or delivery
Project and programme management
Construction, infrastructure, technology or other industries
Site and operational delivery teams
Client and commissioning organisations
Central or local government
SMEs and supply-chain organisations
Voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations
Employment, skills and community-based delivery
We also welcome people delivering practical Social Value activities, such as employment and skills programmes, community initiatives, environmental projects and support for underrepresented groups.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This will be a focused and participatory working discussion rather than a formal conference or presentation. Attendees will be invited to share their experiences, challenges, examples and perspectives in a constructive environment.
A detailed agenda will be developed and shared with confirmed participants ahead of the session.
The insights gathered will help inform the development of the Social Value white paper.
REGISTRATION
Places are limited to ensure a meaningful discussion and a balanced range of perspectives. Registrations will therefore be reviewed before attendance is confirmed.
