How can we embed and measure social value throughout the lifecycle of a project?
11:00 – 12:00
Although the concept of Social Value has been around for a long-time, it’s only just this year that it has been mandated into government procurement. And as the push to ‘build back better’ comes into full force as part of our Covid recovery, there has never been a more opportune time to truly improve the impact that projects can have on people’s lives.
Hear from our panel of experts as we discuss:
- How can the industry benefit from value-based procurement
- How can we integrate social value from the very start of a project and what opportunities will this provide?
- How can social value be measured throughout the lifecycle of a project?
