Accreditations that support the future of healthcare
The Social Value Quality Mark® Health Award is delivered in collaboration with NHS Arden & GEM CSU. It recognises the significant social value created by the NHS, its supply chain, its partners and local communities.

Testimonials
“Locala is now in a place to drive the delivery and measurement of social value, which enables us to be very clear about our role as a social enterprise. We are able to show the impact of our work through the social value we create. We are much better equipped to respond to new business tenders and meet the requirements in our contracts. Moreover, it has given us a focus to our ethos, vision and brand.”
