“Barts Trust aims to work with its contracting partners to deliver long-term, meaningful change by prioritising social value benefits as key success factors in the delivery of the project. We invited Action Sustainability to undertake a piece of work in preparation to implement and to help embed sustainability into procurement to generate added social value as an outcome, aligned with PPN 06/020. The outcomes of the tasks they conducted provide a robust framework to embed our social value requirements into the tender process, thereby enabling us to give the supply chain visibility of our requirements and to also ensure it is legally and contractually binding on the successful tenderer upon contract award. The contract and performance management piece ensures regular monitoring of supplier performance during the works for continuous improvement.”
