Setting the right criteria is hard without the right data
You're asked to set proportionate, locally-relevant PPN 002 criteria — but often lack the granular local data to justify which outcomes matter most in your area.
Generic, copy-pasted social value criteria don't reflect real local need — they can be challenged, or simply produce weak supplier responses.
Stretched procurement teams can't manually research deprivation data, named local VCSEs, and skills gaps for every single contract.
A defensible evidence base for every contract area
Instantly generate a local evidence baseline for any contract area.
Select and justify which PPN 002 outcomes and sub-criteria are proportionate and relevant.
Drop source-cited data (ONS, indices of deprivation) straight into tender documentation.
PPN 002 requires authorities to select social value outcomes and criteria that "relate to the subject matter of the contract" and are "proportionate." Social Value Navigator gives you the local evidence to demonstrate exactly that — turning a compliance requirement into a documented, defensible decision.
