As Wales continues to champion well-being and inclusive growth through strategic procurement, public sector buyers are confronted with both opportunity and complexity: how to meaningfully deliver and demonstrate social value that aligns with the Well-Being of Future Generations (WBFGA) Act, the Social Partnership & Public Procurement (Wales) Act, and evolving national priorities.
Join Social Value Portal for an insightful webinar tailored for Welsh public sector buyers, where we’ll explore how organisations across Wales are operationalising the TOM System for Wales using our integrated platform — from strategy through contract delivery and reporting.
In this session, you'll discover:
- The Welsh TOM System’s journey from development to implementation: how it was co-designed with Welsh local government partners and resonates with the seven well-being goals that underpin Welsh public policy.
- Real outcomes from local public bodies including how Powys County Council is embedding social value and sustainability into its procurement strategy, using tools that help buyers set targets, monitor performance and measure impact consistently.
- The role of the Welsh Local Government Association-aligned TOM framework: how a consistent standard, championed by public sector practitioners, underpins better decision-making and avoids duplication or inconsistency across councils.
- Why contract management matters: turning commitments into evidence-based delivery with live dashboards, automated tracking and validated reporting that supports governance, community outcomes and national aggregation.
- How to close the loop: from procurement evaluation through to delivery assurance, with tools and workflows that reduce manual effort and support continuous improvement across service areas.
Why attend
Whether you are preparing for reporting under Welsh Government policy, seeking to embed well-being at the heart of commissioning, or looking for digital tools that take the guesswork out of social value delivery and reporting, this webinar will give you practical insights from both policy and implementation standpoints — grounded in local government experience and supported by Social Value Portal’s platform.
