Procurement Policy Training (PPN002) in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire
The Social Value Model is a mandatory framework used in UK public sector procurement to ensure that contracts deliver measurable benefits beyond their core purpose. It defines five key themes, specific outcomes and a set of model award criteria that buyers must apply. TMSV Social Value Educators, operating across Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, delivers expert-led Social Value Model training to help businesses, charities and public bodies understand exactly what is required and how to respond effectively.

PPN 002, published by the Cabinet Office, is the Procurement Policy Note that introduced and subsequently updated the Social Value Model for use across central government. The updated model strengthened the requirement for buyers to apply social value criteria in all relevant procurements, with a minimum weighting of ten percent in most cases. It also aligned the framework more closely with broader government priorities such as levelling up and net zero. TMSV Educational Providers has supported organisations in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire and nationally to keep pace with these changes, providing up-to-date training that reflects the current requirements set out in PPN 002 and the revised Social Value Model.
How PPN 002 Reshaped Social Value Requirements
Understanding the Social Value Model starts with its five core themes: COVID-19 recovery, tackling economic inequality, fighting climate change, equal opportunity and wellbeing. Each theme contains a number of specific policy outcomes and model award criteria that central government buyers are required to use during the procurement process. Suppliers need to demonstrate how their work will contribute to these outcomes in a clear and measurable way. At TMSV, we work with organisations across Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire to build that understanding from the ground up, ensuring teams can confidently identify which themes are most relevant to their contracts and articulate their social value commitments effectively.
What Does the Social Value Model Cover?
Measuring social value is increasingly expected not just at the bidding stage but throughout the life of a contract. Public sector commissioners want to see that suppliers are delivering on their commitments and can demonstrate measurable outcomes against the policy themes set out in the Social Value Model. Without a structured approach to measurement, organisations risk falling short of their contractual obligations and damaging relationships with key clients. TMSV Social Value Consultants offers practical social value measurement training to organisations in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire and across the UK, covering the principles of proportionate and credible measurement, the tools available to support it and how to embed a culture of social value reporting throughout your organisation.
Why Social Value Measurement Drives Better Outcomes
The Social Value Model has changed what it means to be competitive in public sector procurement. With social value now accounting for at least ten percent of the overall evaluation score in central government tenders, a weak social value response can cost your organisation a contract it is otherwise well placed to win. Learning how to interpret model award criteria, tailor your response to the specific contract subject matter and evidence your commitments clearly is now a core commercial skill. TMSV Educational Providers delivers practical, results-focused training to organisations in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire and nationally, helping bid teams understand exactly what is required to produce a social value response that scores consistently well.
