Social Value FAQs

What is social value in public sector tenders?

Social value refers to the wider economic, social, and environmental benefits a supplier delivers beyond the core contract. Under the Social Value Act 2012 and PPN 06/20, public sector buyers must evaluate social value, typically weighted 10-20% of total tender scores.

What is the TOMs framework?

TOMs (Themes, Outcomes, Measures) is the National Social Value Framework used by many public sector buyers to evaluate and measure social value commitments. It covers themes including Jobs, Growth, Social, Environment, and Innovation.

How much is social value worth in tenders?

Social value typically accounts for 10-20% of total tender scores, though some contracts weight it as high as 30%. Given competitive pricing, strong social value responses can be the difference between winning and losing.
