Cumberland Council is committed to ensuring that the money we spend through procurement delivers wider benefits for our communities. Our Social Value Menu sets out the themes and priorities that matter most to Cumberland:
- supporting local people
- strengthening our economy
- protecting the environment
- improving overall wellbeing
Suppliers play a key role in delivering these outcomes. Through their social value commitments, contractors report the activities and outcomes they achieve, helping us understand and demonstrate the real impact of their work.
These case studies highlight the positive contributions delivered through our contracts. They show how suppliers are helping to create local employment, develop skills, improve community wellbeing and support environmental aims, reflecting our shared commitment to long‑lasting social value.
