Social value and clauses

Public Procurement

 

The new social value policy agreed by the Executive, mandates that from June 2022, tenders must include a minimum of 10% of total award criteria to social value. This will apply to service contracts valued above £123,000 and construction contracts valued above £4.7million – accounting for approximately 97% of total government procurement spend.  The minimum weighting will increase to 20% from June 2023 subject to review and approval by the Executive.

​

“This new policy will help create jobs for people in deprived areas and deliver environmental benefits by requiring contracts to employ low or zero carbon practices.” Minister Murphy 2021
