Procurement, Commissioning and Contract Compliance - Adult Care, Housing and Public Health Market Position Statement

The Council is committed to supporting the principles of the Social Value policy.

Social value is defined by the Social Value hub as: the benefit to the community from a commissioning or procurement process over and above the direct purchasing of goods, services and outcomes.

The Council has committed to a 20% social value pledge for all procurement processes over £100,000 per annum, and these providers are mandated to complete regular returns via the Social Value Portal.

The Social Value Policy sets out 6 key outcomes:

1. Raising living standards for all residents of Rotherham.
2. A strong local economy with employment and skills opportunities and a growing business base.
3. Young people have the opportunity to develop skills and find worthwhile employment.
4. Equality of opportunity for disadvantaged people and communities including disabled people.
5. Strengthened and sustainable community and voluntary sector.
6. Greater environmental sustainability including accessible green public spaces.

The Council wishes to work with providers to deliver measurable social value outcomes that will help improve the lives of those accessing care, people delivering care, and the local environment.
