Benefits of Social Value & Sustainable IT services provided by Public Efficiency Partners
Public bodies are expected to deliver social value and reduce their environmental impact through what they buy. We help you set meaningful requirements for technology suppliers, evaluate them fairly and track whether commitments are delivered.
Meaningful commitments: Social value asks are relevant to the contract and to your community.
Lower environmental impact: Energy use, device life and recycling are considered from the start.
Measurable results: Supplier commitments are tracked and reported, not just promised.

Delivery Tracking
We monitor supplier commitments and report on outcomes.

Common
Challenges
Building social value and sustainability into technology buying is not always straightforward. Common challenges include:
Generic Questions
Social value questions are copied between tenders and do not fit the contract.
Unmeasured Promises
Commitments are made at tender but never tracked.
Hidden Carbon
The environmental cost of devices and data centres is overlooked.
Short Device Lifespans
Equipment is replaced earlier than necessary.
Reporting Pressure
Organisations are increasingly asked to show progress against net zero targets.
Supplier Capability
Smaller suppliers may need help to meet requirements.
