Businesses bidding for public sector contracts are increasingly expected to do more than deliver on cost and quality. Under the UK government’s Procurement Policy Note 02/21 (PPN 002), companies are now assessed on the social value they bring, including how they contribute to safer communities and help tackle domestic abuse.

At Llamau, we’re here to support businesses of all sizes to meet these expectations meaningfully and effectively.

Understanding the social value model – section 5

Section 5 of the social value model focuses on reducing crime by promoting community cohesion, raising awareness, and taking action. One key outcome is to support the reduction of domestic abuse. To meet this requirement, businesses are asked to:

• Show how they manage the risk of domestic abuse in their own workforce
• Engage with charities and community organisations to address domestic abuse
• Deliver training and awareness-raising for staff, suppliers, and wider stakeholders

This is where Llamau can help

Llamau has specialist expertise in domestic abuse. Through our training and partnerships, we help employees:

Llamau offers comprehensive training sessions on:

• Understanding domestic abuse
• Recognising signs of abuse among colleagues or customers
• Responding appropriately and safely
• Creating safe and supportive workplaces

Llamau’s training supports businesses to demonstrate a clear, proactive approach to safeguarding and employee wellbeing aligned directly with the expectations of PPN 002.

Embed domestic abuse awareness into your policies

We can work with your HR, procurement, and leadership teams to review and strengthen internal policies, helping you to:

• Develop safeguarding frameworks
• Improve referral pathways for staff at risk
• Create a culture where employees feel supported and safe

Build meaningful charity partnerships

Collaborating with Llamau not only helps you deliver social value in procurement, it also deepens your organisation’s impact on the community. As a charity partner, you’ll be supporting frontline services that:
