Find out how the Impact Evaluation Standard supports contracting authorities in managing the PPN06/20 Social Value Model
On 1st January, it was 3 years since PPN06/20 ‘Taking account of social value in the award of central government contracts’ came into effect.
The positive indications are that PPN06/20 is starting to drive real behavioural change within contracting authorities and Tier 1 suppliers.
However clarity, consistency and rigour are common challenges in the application of PNN06/20 and consequently many Tier 1s and government departments such as HMRC have opted to use the Impact Evaluation Standard to improve this.
Addressing PPN06/20 challenges
The Impact Evaluation Standard framework for social value reporting helps address specific PPN06/20 challenges such as:
- What are the correct Themes or Model Award Criteria to request in tender documents?
- Different interpretations of the guidance by contracting authorities and their suppliers
- Is data provided by the supply chain during contract delivery consistent and robust?
- How to incentivise or benchmark suppliers to improve their social value on long term contracts
