WHAT IS SOCIAL VALUE IN TENDERING?
LEADING TENDERING CONSULTANT IN SOCIAL VALUE IN BELFAST AND ACROSS NORTHERN IRELAND
Social value in tendering refers to the wider social, economic and environmental benefits a business can deliver alongside the contract itself. In modern procurement, particularly within public sector tenders, organisations are increasingly expected to demonstrate how their work will positively impact local communities, support sustainability, create employment opportunities and contribute to long-term community development.
For many contracts, social value now forms a significant percentage of the overall tender score across Northern Ireland, meaning a strong response can make the difference between winning and losing a bid. However, many businesses lose valuable marks because their responses are too generic, lack measurable commitments, or fail to clearly align with the buyer’s objectives. This is where Bill Atkinson from Blacksheep Consulting will help you.
At Black Sheep Consulting, Bill helps businesses across Belfast and Northern Ireland create clear, tailored and credible social value responses designed to maximise scoring potential and strengthen tender submissions. So if you are looking for a tendering consultant with a track record in social value; do not hesitate to contact Bill from Black Sheep Consulting.
