Social Value in Construction Contracts - Update

Summary

Description

In the UK, Ireland and the UAE, governments are seeking ways to further public policy goals through construction projects, with the goal of benefiting local and broader communities. This webinar offers an overview and the latest updates on the significance of social value in construction contracts within these jurisdictions.

Recent years have seen increasing requirements regarding social value placed onto contracting authorities in the UK and abroad. New legislation and policy require social value to be given varying degrees of consideration, adding additional layers of complexity to public procurement.

Key areas that will be covered in the webinar include:

• Social Value in the UK- understanding policy notes and law

• A look at Social Value from Ireland

• Social value from a practical perspective, including: Setting & Evaluating Social Value Criteria; and Monitoring & enforcing Social Value
In addition, the reporting requirements and the challenges / risks around the new Procurement Act 2023 for England, NI and Wales.
