Question

Merits and demerits of social values in india

Answer 1

The inclusion of Social Value criteria within the tender process can raise the profile of local social, economic and environmental issues e.g. high numbers of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET).

The inclusion of Social Value criteria in public service contracts can also enable alternative providers such as voluntary organisations, community groups and social enterprises to compete against larger organisations in what is traditionally a very restricted market. By encouraging a greater breadth of providers, commissioning organisations may benefit from improved value for money, business partnerships and innovative ideas

Answer 2

India is a democratic country
