NHS LPP's Social Value Curriculum - Module 1

The pan-London Social Value Curriculum is an educational training programme designed by NHS LPP for member trusts and ICBs to accelerate NHS London capability in social value. The Curriculum is available free of charge to members as it's included in their membership benefits package.

Social value considers the positive impacts a given organisation or programme has on the wellbeing of individuals, communities, and the environment by reducing the inequality gaps that currently exist.

Specifically tailored for anyone involved in the procurement, evaluation, award or contract management of NHS contracts, the Curriculum is customised for London as a ‘place’. It provides a foundation of key concepts, essential technical requirements and a working knowledge in social value relevant for procurement project teams to become proficient in their activities.

It also serves as a roadmap to establish the standards required for NHS trusts that must be met in order to comply with public sector regulations on social value in procurement and to meet NHS targets, locally, regionally and nationally.

We have developed the curriculum in line with our strategy to educate, inspire and support our members to navigate forthcoming legislative changes and meet NHS targets with the right skill-set and confidence, whilst providing an enriching experience for the learner along the way.
