What is social value?
In January 2013, the Social Value Act came into force. This ground-breaking law has the potential to transform the way public services are commissioned, requiring public bodies to consider providers based on the economic, environmental and social value created, not on cost alone.
How does CoTrain support social value?
Since 2015, CoTrain has helped its principal contractor partners and their supply chain to deliver almost £1m of social value by facilitating and managing apprenticeship training and employment placements on projects on their behalf across the South East.
With ever-increasing importance placed on social value, Employment & Skills Plans are used to set key performance objectives on projects around adding social value, one of which is focused on providing local employment and apprenticeship training. But how can this be achieved on shorter-term contracts?
