Does Social Value Help SMEs Win Contracts
You're invited to a Breakfast Forum with Workspace and FuturePlus, exploring how SMEs across London are using Social Impact & Social Value to win contracts - from direct government tenders to standing out as subcontractors in corporate supply chains.
We're delighted to be joined by Tricia Blatherwick from AutogenAI, the World's leading AI powered Bid and Proposal Platform, who brings over 25 years of strategic sales experience and a proven track record of securing high-value contracts across public and private sectors including Atos, Capita, Serco, and DXC, securing over £5bn of new business. Tricia understands firsthand how businesses can leverage competitive advantages - including social value - to win in today's marketplace.
Hosted at Workspace’s Fleet Street, located on London’s iconic publishing street in Blackfriars, on Wednesday 25th June from 9:00 – 11:00am.
In an increasingly competitive landscape, Social Value has shifted from 'nice to have' to a commercial necessity. Major contractors now weigh Social Value at 10-20% of tender scores, whilst private sector clients increasingly demand evidence of community impact.
For SMEs, this creates a unique opportunity. In tough economic times when competing on price alone isn't viable, demonstrating genuine social value helps you stand out from competitors. Whether you're bidding directly for public sector work or positioning yourself as the preferred subcontractor for prime contractors, your social impact credentials can be the differentiator that wins you business.
Join us to:
Better understand how social value creates competitive advantage for SMEs
Learn from peers and experts about what works and what doesn't
Discover how to evidence social impact credibly and compellingly
Understand how your social value can help prime contractors meet their own commitments
Master the art of storytelling to make your social impact compelling
This event is designed for SMEs who are bidding for public sector contracts, seeking to become preferred suppliers in corporate supply chains, or looking to turn social impact into competitive advantage.
