The NHS has adopted PPN 06/20 (taking account of Social Value in the award of Government Contracts) 2022, and therefore this future Framework Agreement will include some qualitative evaluation questions on Social Value with a min. weighting of 10% towards the award. For more information on Social Value and to understand what’s included in Social Value, please see: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policynote-0620-takingacc.... In addition, from April 2023: the NHS will adopt the Government’s ‘Taking Account of Carbon Reduction Plans‘ (PPN 06/21) requiring all suppliers with new contracts for goods, services, and/or works with an anticipated contract value above £5 million per annum, to publish a carbon reduction plan for their direct emissions. From April 2024, the NHS will expand this requirement for all new contracts, irrespective of value. The NHS has outlined Fighting Climate Change as a key Social Value Theme however it may be that bidders are able to demonstrate activity against many more of the Social Value Themes. We will be sending out a RFI with some questions aligned to Social Value Themes and will use these responses to shape our evaluation questions on Social Value.
