      <image:title>Social Value Hub - Neil MacDonald, Chief Executive Officer, Thrive - We align with the Social Value Model themes, policy outcomes and ‘MACs’, and directly incorporate the fifty-two-reporting metrics. We are the only framework to do that. So, it is instantly recognisable as metrics from the Social Value Model. This is incredibly helpful for organisations that need to deliver social value outcomes in the way the government recognise them.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We also added additional sub-metrics - practical metrics often more usable than the Social Value Model metric but still aligned with it and, importantly, we have added robust, defensible and transparent proxy values which are optional for users to adopt.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Social Value Hub - Carol Glenn, Social Value Programme Manager, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council - We split our social value score 50-50 between quality and quantity. We use the TOMs (Themes, Outcomes and Measures) to give a proxy value, which is only half the score. The other half is quality. The quality score justifies those figures; if that quality does not explain the number, then that number could be discounted to zero. So even though companies are putting high quantitative bids in, they may not come out of the evaluation with that score, because it could be discounted to zero if the quality does not justify those figures. So, the evaluation and the clarification process level the playing field a bit more.</image:title>

      <image:title>Social Value Hub - Matt Richardson, Social Value Lead, The Growth Company - What is one of the challenges faced by an ageing workforce?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Being overqualified for the role for which they are applying. We had a perfect example when a staff member talked about where they had worked in recruitment for many years. They knew the industry very well but left the organisation due to redundancy. But then could not get back into the labour market. So, when they were going for interviews, they noticed that the panels they were meeting with did not necessarily reflect the organisation or him as an individual. So that goes back to interviewing. I think having diverse representation within interviewing panels is also important.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Social Value Hub - What can technology companies do to create positive social value?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Social value is a mechanism which allows public sector procurers to differentiate between suppliers based on the value they offer society. Social Value refers to the additional social, economic and environmental outcomes procurers can achieve by spending money with a particular supplier. Across the UK, social value comes in many shapes and sizes, but whether you are a UK Central Government, Local Government, Welsh or Scottish contracting authority, the top-level outcomes you seek to be associated with your procurement are likely to be very similar [see box].</image:caption>

      <image:title>Social Value Hub - Nicola Gooch, Senior Social Value Consultant - What’s led you to Samtaler and working in social value?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have been involved in social value for the last 12 years, predominantly working for construction companies but more recently at a local authority. I met Sarah about five years ago when she visited a project I was involved with in North Glasgow. I was struck by her appetite for social value and have followed the Samtaler journey via social media ever since.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Social Value Hub - Louise Griffiths, Trainee Social Value Consultant - What’s led you to Samtaler and working in social value?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Social value became an interest for me while studying for my Business and Sociology degree and undertaking a series of internships in predominantly CSR, ESG and Business Development positions. It has always been vital that I find a role within a team of people who place the same value on the same things as me, those being our planet and people. For me, working in social value is a way that I can support organisations in becoming better, and making positive, long-term changes. So when I came across Samtaler – a small, female-led team of passionate and dedicated people – it was a no-brainer!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The primary role of the state is to provide public goods and services and social value is at the front end of this. The long-term potential is massive if you get this right and it feels like a huge lever that government are not using effectively. There’s no reason we shouldn’t be doing this all the time. You can deliver better services that improve people lives while also ploughing the surplus back into communities in an environmentally sustainable way that saves money in the long-term.

      <image:title>Social Value Hub - Frank Omare, Global Industry &amp;amp; Value Advisory, SAP - We also recently transitioned to using Change Please coffee rather than Costa Coffee</image:title>
      <image:caption>What’s great about this example is that before we made the change, we arranged some blind taste tests with our employees to ensure the quality of the coffee was going to be just as good. There’s a misconception that if you move to a social enterprise or a diverse supplier, the quality of the product or service will suffer, and that’s not true. A lot of these businesses operate for a profit, and they can only do that if they have a good quality product or service.</image:caption>
