Purpose

The revised Social Value Policy
and Framework sets out the legal context for social value and the
proposed approach for the county council to deliver social value
through its commissioning, procurement and contract management
activities. At the centre of the social value strategy are the
priorities for the county council and Lancashire 2050.
 
The aim of the revised policy
is to focus the council's procurement activity across all service
areas with a shared aim, shared ambition, shared goals and shared
priorities. The revised policy will provide a structured approach
to monitoring, measuring and reporting our social value
achievements.
 
This is deemed to be a Key
Decision and the requirements of Standing Order C19 have been
complied with.

Decision

The Cabinet approved the recommendation(s) as
set out in the report.
