Abstract

In conjunction with academia and local government, Data Performance Consultancy Ltd. (DPC) is developing a Smart Social Value Procurement Platform (WASP – Workflow Analytics and Social Procurement). The aim of WASP is to electronically connect suppliers to local authorities, where the value will be delivered by superseding the current manual input systems with an online model. Furthermore, it will generate benefits from an included social value matrix, which defines and measures social value within the procurement process of the public sector.
