Procurement weightings for social value
Hi
I wish to receive the following information:
• The social value weighting applied in all above threshold tenders and frameworks issued in 2021 for contracts or frameworks. I do not require information on products or construction, only services, but if the information is recorded in one dataset, I am happy to “clean” this myself.
• The price and quality weightings used in the above contracts or frameworks. Again, if the dataset contains all tenders, I am happy to “clean” the data.
An MS Excel file is the preferred format but any other format should be ok too.
I do not require any personal of financial data. Note that neither contract awards or notices provide weighting on social value or detail quality/price weighting and so am unable to find these anywhere else.
I do not require the names of suppliers or any commercial information
Yours faithfully,
N CAPSTICK

Dear Mr Capstick
FOI Request Ref 6510.
The information you requested is set out below:
The requirements of the Social Value Act were not corporately monitored in 2021. We are now for 2022 implementing the Social Value Portal to enable the Council to measure and report on its Social Value activity. All procurement over £75,000 will be required to include social value as part of their scoring and evaluation process, the standard weighting for social value will be a minimum of 10%.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of this email and should be addressed to me. The review request will then be referred to the Monitoring Officer for consideration.
