Creating value beyond the contract.
Social value is woven into the way we operate. Every contract we deliver is an opportunity to support local employment, build skills, engage the community and reduce our environmental impact.
Social value isn't a box to tick. It's how we work.
Public-sector procurement increasingly requires suppliers to demonstrate genuine social value and rightly so. Contracts funded by public money should deliver benefit beyond the immediate service scope.
At MS, our social value approach covers six interconnected areas: local employment, skills and training, local supply chain, environmental responsibility, workforce wellbeing and community engagement. Each area has practical actions built into our standard operating model not layered on as afterthoughts.
