     The purpose of this section is to ensure suppliers will have the necessary processes in place, such as governance and project management, to deliver social value.
 
     Suppliers who are awarded a contract under this framework will be required to nominate an individual who will be responsible for ensuring that your Social Value commitment is delivered. For the purpose of this application, this individual is known as a “CCS Social Value Contact”. The CCS Social Value Contact will be responsible for ensuring that you have the correct processes and systems in place for delivery of your Social Value commitment, including governance, project management and reporting.
-

     The post holder of the CCS Social Value Contact role may vary between organisations. In some, the role may be held by someone dedicated to Social Value (e.g. part of the CSR team); in others, a member of the team delivering the contract (e.g. engagement lead) and in others still, part of the leadership of the organisation (e.g. CEO). For this reason, shared mailboxes are acceptable and an individual’s contact name is still required.
