Government policy allocates at least ten percent of contract evaluation to social value criteria.
Conclusion
The GCF told us that the “next level down” of issues are things that could be covered in the social value elements of the contract. The GCF commented that at least 10% of the evaluation criteria for contracts should be allocated to a social value dimension. The GCF had provided a menu of social value criteria for procurement staff, with recommended metrics that should be used to assess contracts.50
