Produced by the Govermnent Commercial Function back in December 2020 (still in use and not been updated by the Government since this date), this document provides an overview of the 5 main Social Value Themes in the National TOMs (Themes, Outcomes and Measures).

Public sector tenders now allocate at least 10% of the overall score to social value, so understanding this is critical to maximising the points you score in recruitment tenders.

The National TOMs detail the areas that you may be asked about in social value questions in tenders, and include specific, measurable outcomes that you may be asked to deliver as part of your service.  It's important to be able to discuss what you will deliver (in alignment with the TOMs), how you will deliver it, who will deliver it (and when), and the locations (which should align with the contract).  You may also be asked to explain how you will manage social value delivery as a business and how you will report it a Framework and call-off levels.

Themes covered in this free document include:

• Covid-19 Recovery
• Tackling Economic Inequality
• Fighting Climate Chamge
• Equal Opportunity
• Wellbeing
