Delivering social value through fleet supply chains

26 July 2021

Fleet News reports that The Crown Commercial Service is working with  Driving for Better Business  to deliver social value through fleet supply chains.

Alongside safety, public bodies are becoming increasingly conscious of their responsibility to consider the environmental and social impacts of their procurement.

For the Crown Commercial Service (CCS), delivering social value within its procurements is a key priority.

This is supported by The Public Services (Social Value) Act, which requires consideration to be given to how social value can be delivered through the public sector’s commercial activities in order to secure wider social, economic and environmental benefits for communities.

CCS is taking action to support customers in this area, building the management of road related risk into our new framework agreement for the supply and fit of tyres, glass and fast fit items, as a requirement for our suppliers and their wider supply chains.
