Conclusion
We heard that including a social value component in shipbuilding contracts can help deliver benefits for the wider economy and in shipbuilding communities. However, there are challenges in measuring how effectively those commitments are being delivered on.
Government Response Summary
The NSO and the MOD are committed to ensuring that social value commitments through Government shipbuilding procurements and investments are delivered. Under the Cabinet Office Social Value Model, the contracting authority is also mandated to assess the supplier’s performance.
