Procurement Advice

Best Value.
Building for
Communities.

Our Team

We have extensive experience advising, and working in collaboration with, public sector clients on achieving Best Value in relation to the procurement of goods and services, ensuring that every procurement decision is efficient, effective, and socially impactful.

Our team of Social Impact Consultants have experience of successfully leading social impact organisations and leading community initiatives. We understand where to find the gaps in publicly funded service provision, unearthing opportunities for social improvement. This process leads to clarity for all stakeholders involved in the procurement process in relation to what ‘Best Value’ looks like, and how it can be achieved.

Our Approach

By focusing on opportunities for Social Impact that benefit both local and wider communities, our team supports public sector buyers to ensure procurement processes are not only efficient and effective in meeting operational requirements, but also generate meaningful, long-term benefits for the communities served. Our approach involves:

Strategic Assessment: Conducting thorough assessments to identify service provision gaps and areas where social value can be maximised.

Community Engagement: Engaging with local communities and stakeholders to understand their needs and aspirations, ensuring that procurement decisions are informed by community insights.

Development of Social Value Criteria: Establishing clear and measurable social value criteria that guide procurement decisions and ensure alignment with community goals.

Implementation Support: Providing ongoing support to public sector organisations to implement social value strategies, including training and capacity building for procurement teams.
