Lots going on around social value but little awareness or
promotion
Exciting policy times and a recognition that social value should
drive it
Limited impact of Public Services (Social Value) Act
A need for a voice to push social value in Greater Manchester

‘To encourage organisations in every sector to seek relevant

SOCIAL VALUE – achieving outcomes from ALL public procurement and
commissioning; harnessing the role of the business sector, the role of public
bodies as employers of local people and enablers of development and
investment… and therefore achieving the most from the GM Pound.

16. Objectives
EMBEDDING SOCIAL VALUE…
• Within all public sector commissioning, service provision and the
expenditure of public funding – not just the Health and Social Care
budget
•To maximise the contribution that the business sector can make
across GM through purposeful business activities such as
employee volunteering, local supply chain, recruitment from
recommended sources and paying a Living Wage
AND…
•Developing the social market - ‘added value’ generated through
their normal activities by Voluntary, Community and Social
Enterprise (VCSE) organisations in GM - towards agreed goals;
thereby generating outcomes without investment of public funds,
but instead through volunteering, charitable giving, informal
trading and community action.

17. Outcomes
• Wellbeing and health outcomes articulated in the GM Strategic Plan as
‘added benefits’ from investment outside of the Health and Social Care
budget and from responsible business practice across GM
• Contribute towards the growth objectives of ‘Stronger Together
• Be part of a social movement for change in health
• A practical understanding of the interaction between economic and
social growth and an asset based approach to resilient communities
• Better return on investment / value for money in public sector
expenditure
• Added value from the activities of businesses in GM, as well as inward
investment, through the creation of local employment, local supply
chains, opportunities for local enterprise and physical regeneration
• Mitigate the impact of cuts to public sector budgets
• Achieve cashable savings in some circumstances

18. Suggested programme content
Objective 1: Maximising Social Value from the expenditure of
public funding
•Development of a clear description of what social value means in
GM for the partners in GM devolution
•Re-imagine the existing GMCA Social Value Policy for procurement
and commissioning
•Embed the policy into custom and practice across the GM Reform
Partners
•Identify, test and share good practice in return on investment
•Develop an approach to quantifying Social Value benefits across
GM
Objective 2: Increasing purposeful business in GM
•Supporting Leadership in business
•Promoting social value
•Evaluation
Objective 3: Developing the social market
•Awareness raising and promotion
•Enabling voluntary action
•Evaluation

19. Learning so far…
Most important ‘growing conditions’ are:
• Values….
• Partnership and collaboration
• Leadership
• Don’t try and performance manage it into your work
Other points –
• Embed it within your business
• Measure what you value (and value what you measure)
• Start small…
• Get the balance of business and values
• You don’t have to measure, but you do need to
understand

20. Use the available resources…
