What We’re Looking For
This award is open ONLY to organisations who:
Are delivering social value as part of a contract with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council
OR
Are delivering social value as part of a contract with another public sector body in Rotherham.
The Social Value Business of the Year Award recognises businesses that are going above and beyond to give back to the Rotherham community through the public sector contracts they are delivering. These organisations are not only delivering high-quality services—they are creating real, lasting change by investing in local people, places, businesses and communities.
We want to see evidence of how social value is integrated into your organisation’s values, leadership, and day-to-day operations. What you have done to ensure that your commitments are not just met, but sustained throughout the life of the contract.
Tell us how your business has impacted the lives of people in Rotherham. This could be the economic impact on local level, transforming lives through employment, youth engagement, supporting vulnerable or underrepresented groups or supporting local SMEs and VCSEs.
Describe how you have collaborated with local partners to ensure maximum impact for the borough’s economy and/or the resilience of the Voluntary sector.
