The aim of the policy is not to alter the commissioning and procurement processes, but to ensure that the County Council gives consideration to the wider impact of the service's delivery in line with the requirements of the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012. The policy will enable the County Council to demonstrate more effectively how the choice of a supplier through a tendering process not only provides the most economically advantageous service, but one which also secures wider benefits for the community.
