The Council and democracy Social value

Social value governance

We track and check the progress and delivery of social value. The Deputy Executive Member for Finance and Resources currently chairs a social governance board. And a social value 'task and finish' group looks at the way we work. They ensure all our services apply social value. 

We: 

  • embed social value in the award of contracts and services
  • embed social value in reporting on and delivering key targets
  • support staff development across the Council to promote the importance of social value
  • connect organisations making the most of opportunities to address local need
  • explore and make the most of all social value opportunities
  • align social value to City strategies such as Making Manchester Fairer, Investing in Success, and Climate Action Plans
  • communicate what we have achieved to inspire others.
