SV Fest Day 2: Introduction to the National 'TOMs' method and ECC framework
Event Information
About this event
The Essex County Council Social Value framework, the ECC TOMs, is based on the national framework for social value called the 'TOMs' Methodology, developed by the National Social Value Taskforce and the Local Government Association (LGA).
In this session we will take a deep dive into the TOMs so you can fully understand the approach and how to apply it when bidding for public sector contracts.
Keynote speaker: Peter Holbrook CBE, Chief Executive of Social Enterprise UK. Peter will present the case for social value and give us a national perspective on the importance of social value in the bidding process.
Panel:
- Cindy Nadesan, Senior Public Sector Account Manager at the Social Value Portal and experienced social value practitioner, will describe the context and origins of the 'NTOMs' - National Themes, Outcomes and Measures and how Councils across the country use them to evaluate and score bids
- Samantha Butler, ECC Social Value Lead and Cabinet Office Head of Social Value Skills and Engagement will outline the specific tendering processes used by ECC to include social value using the ECC TOMs. Samantha will also outline the ECC 'priority measures' and guidance and resources available to your staff to help you prepare your social value bid
There will be time to submit questions during the session.
