There are real challenges in enabling social value to be applied effectively primarily because organisations have conflicting pressures on delivery, risk, scale and cost management which vary. Orbit is passionate about building communities and investing in our communities. It is hoped that the growth of social suppliers is increased by working with Orbit and similar organisations across the housing and wider public and private sectors. There is an increasing desire to buy from VCSE’s and this desire is being driven by organisational ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) approaches, a generational shift in expectations along with the direction of travel of government led initiatives such as PPN's 0620 and 1120, the industrial and civil society strategies and the Social Value Act. ## CPV classification Other community, social and personal services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-0290a9-2021-02-05T14:53:35Z [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-0290a9-2021-02-05T14:53:35Z) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
