00:00:00:13 - 00:00:04:02
Every year, the Council
spends hundreds of millions of pounds

00:00:04:02 - 00:00:09:24
on delivering and maintaining services
and facilities for Manchester people.

00:00:09:24 - 00:00:13:11
Social value is the added benefit
to the community over

00:00:13:11 - 00:00:18:14
and above the direct benefits
being delivered by a contract or service.

00:00:19:01 - 00:00:20:15
Our social value policy

00:00:20:15 - 00:00:26:03
helps us tackle health
and social inequalities in the city,

00:00:26:05 - 00:00:28:01
create employment, apprenticeship

00:00:28:01 - 00:00:31:18
and skills opportunities
for our residents,

00:00:31:20 - 00:00:36:17
develop a locally-based, resilient
supply chain by encouraging organisations

00:00:36:17 - 00:00:40:17
to purchase goods, services,
and work from local Manchester

00:00:40:17 - 00:00:43:17
based organisations.

00:00:43:19 - 00:00:46:17
To get the best social value
for our residents,

00:00:46:17 - 00:00:50:04
we add 20% weighting to all our contracts

00:00:50:04 - 00:00:54:09
and we only do business with companies
who pay their staff fairly,

00:00:54:11 - 00:00:57:24
promote equality, diversity and inclusion,

00:00:58:01 - 00:01:00:22
give something back to Manchester people,

00:01:00:22 - 00:01:03:18
create opportunities
for key resident groups

00:01:03:20 - 00:01:06:21
and boost local neighbourhood economies,

00:01:07:13 - 00:01:09:11
and we don't stop there.

00:01:09:11 - 00:01:11:19
We also add a 10% weighting

00:01:11:19 - 00:01:14:13
to contracts to tackle 
climate change in our city, 

00:01:14:13 - 00:01:21:12
ensuring that any companies we do business
with are working to improve air quality,

00:01:21:14 - 00:01:25:22
promote greener production
and consumption of resources,

00:01:25:24 - 00:01:28:12
improve our natural environment,

00:01:28:12 - 00:01:33:11
and make our city more resilient
to the impacts of climate change.

00:01:33:13 - 00:01:36:20
This will help us to achieve 
our target of becoming a

00:01:36:20 - 00:01:40:17
zero carbon city by 2038 at the latest.
