# Local Social Value

> Turning the social value commitments you’ve already made into plans you can actually deliver.

We take the social value commitments you’ve already made, like apprenticeships, placements, community hours, net zero and local spend, and turn them into a plan you can actually run. It’s built on real relationships across Essex and experience on both sides of the procurement table. Without a plan behind them, social value commitments start to slip, and it tends to show up in the same three ways. Local Social Value can help you fix all of them.
