Open Public Services“Opening public services to competition and providing

more freedom to innovate will improve the choices available to service users, as well as delivering better value for money for the taxpayer.”

“Empowering all potential providers, from whichever sector, with the right to propose new ways to deliver services, and linking payment to results so that providers are free to innovate and eliminate waste.”

“looking at how to enable a level playing field for all independent providers, as well as addressing barriers that are particularly problematic for smaller private, voluntary and charitable enterprises.”

Social Value Act 2012Article 3 of the Bill states that:

'The authority must consider— (a) how what is proposed to be procured might improve the economic, social

and environmental well-being of the relevant area, and (b) how, in conducting the process of procurement, it might act with a view to

securing that improvement'.

Article 6 of the Bill state that

'The authority must consider under subsection (3)(b) only matters that are relevant to what is proposed to be procured and, in doing so, must consider the extent to which it is proportionate in all the circumstances to take those matters into account'.
