answer text <p>The aim of all public spend is to optimise social value as set out in the HM Treasury Green Book, including single source procurement contracts undertaken by Ministry of Defence (MOD). The Social Value Model seeks additional benefits. In MOD the Social Value Model is applied to all competitive procurements (where it is relevant and proportionate to do so) but has not currently mandated its use for single source procurements.</p><p> </p><p>Social Value considerations can be applied to single source procurements through requirement setting and negotiated to a position of mutual agreement.</p><p> </p><p>However, single source procurements in defence are subject to existing Single Source Contract Regulations and as such applying the Social Value Model is not a straightforward matter. We are considering how the Model can be applied to achieve the policy intent in single source procurement contracts.</p> more like this
