Social value can enable VIP to maximise the positive impact that work and procurement has on local communities, people and the environment. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, VIP uses the National TOMs (Themes, Outcomes and Measurement) framework for measurements for social value. In the Netherlands, VIP aims to develop a comparable model. Social value is made tangible as a percentage of the project costs that have been invested in a way that benefits local and other communities and society, thereby also contributing to sustainable economic growth (SDG 8).
