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 Southwell, Nottinghamshire 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
The Social Value Model brings structure and consistency to how social value is assessed in public sector procurement. It groups requirements into five themes, each with defined policy outcomes and model award criteria. Buyers must select the criteria most relevant to the subject matter of each contract, meaning suppliers need to understand the full framework to respond appropriately. TMSV Training Providers offers targeted training programmes in Southwell, Nottinghamshire and beyond that break down each theme in plain language, helping procurement teams, bid writers and senior leaders develop a thorough and practical understanding of what the Social Value Model demands from both buyers and suppliers.
What Does the Social Value Model Cover?
Measuring social value is not just a procurement requirement. It is a powerful way to demonstrate the real-world impact your organisation creates in the communities where it operates. Effective measurement enables you to track progress against your commitments, report accurately to public sector clients and build a credible evidence base for future bids. Organisations that measure social value consistently are better placed to demonstrate accountability, attract investment and strengthen relationships with stakeholders. TMSV Social Value Educators provides specialist training to organisations across Southwell, Nottinghamshire that covers the most widely used social value measurement frameworks, including the themes and metrics aligned to the Social Value Model, so your teams can report with accuracy and confidence.
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 Social Value Educators delivers practical, results-focused training to organisations in Southwell, Nottinghamshire and nationally, helping bid teams understand exactly what is required to produce a social value response that scores consistently well.
