3 communitymatters.org.uk National context 1 DCLG Best Value Guidance 2011 “Under the Duty of Best Value, therefore, authorities should consider overall value, including economic, environmental and social value, when reviewing service provision. As a concept, social value is about seeking to maximise the additional benefit that can be created by procuring or commissioning goods and services, above and beyond the benefit of merely the goods and services themselves.” https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/best- value-statutory-guidance--4

4 communitymatters.org.uk National context 2 Public Services Act (2012) (applies only to contracts covered by the Public Contracts regulations 2006) (3) The authority must consider— (a) how what is proposed to be procured might improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of the relevant area, and (b) how, in conducting the process of procurement, it might act with a view to securing that improvement. (6)The authority must consider under subsection (3)(b) only matters that are relevant to what is proposed to be procured and, in doing so, must consider the extent to which it is proportionate in all the circumstances to take those matters into account(3)(b) http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/sites/default/files/resources/Public_Services _Social_Value_Act_2012_PPN.pdf http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/3/contents/enacted

5 communitymatters.org.uk National context 3 The need to do more, better, for less Council spend needs to be seen to be more efficiently spent, and better and more transparently targeted. In preparing for commissioning community groups will need to be able to use the Social Value to add additional value to their bids. They will also need to be able to tell their ‘story’ and demonstrate their impact much more clearly to attract funders and other stakeholders Success will look like being able to show you are both delivering high quality social outcomes and delivering savings. And be able to evidence both!

6 communitymatters.org.uk Outputs, Outcomes, Impact Know the difference and keep reinforcing that knowledge till it sticks with everyone Output 1 to 2 years, Outcome 3 to 5 years, Impact 5 to 10 years You can work forwards or backwards when constructing impact frameworks Be creative with both what you seek to measure and how you measure it Can be used in both procurement and strategic management, and provide monitoring frameworks for both Build your evidence base!

7 communitymatters.org.uk Getting started with Social Value Learn from others but don’t look just to copy. Develop a response that is rooted in the needs and experience of your area. Co-design – try to discuss, negotiated and agree a common (not just a council) approach for your area, engaging with all interested parties and local stakeholders including service users, funders, and delivery agents, local businesses, the VCS and most especially your local council. Test it and see. Evolve a practice and the evidence to go with it. Try to get outcomes frameworks embedded in all commissioning cycles and tender developments set up by your council.

8 communitymatters.org.uk Your Value! Community Matters’ response to the challenge of helping smaller volunteer led community groups engage with social value An online tool based around helping groups demonstrate the value of their work across four key areas: Local Relationships Social Value Economic Value Environmental Value Produces a smart concise Final Report that relates the group’s work to policy concerns such as community empowerment, cohesion, worklessness, resilience, and can be shown to funders, local council, and other stakeholders Endorsed by both the Charity Commission and DCLG
