Social Value

The Equality Act 2010, Public Services Social Value Act 2012 and Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, require public bodies to consider how the services they commission and procure might improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of the area, including the protection of the rights of individuals against unlawful discrimination. It is also necessary to consider the social value of development proposals and the impact on communities.
