The focus on social value, alongside quality and price, within the award criteria, further highlights the importance of having impactful community engagement capabilities. For interested businesses, this initiative not only presents the chance to forge a lasting partnership with Brent Council but also contributes to societal advancement by reducing reoffending and supporting rehabilitation efforts.
