There has been a lot of buzz around the upcoming Universal Project currently in development in Bedfordshire. It's estimated to generate around £50 billion in economic benefit, along with the creation of 20,000 jobs during its construction, and a further 8,000 jobs once it's operational. It's undoubtedly brought a lot of eyes towards the smallest county in the UK, and with it a lot of opportunity for local businesses to get involved with not only the main theme park itself, but the surrounding projects that aim to make Bedford and beyond a thriving tourist destination. For those wondering how to get involved, there is a dedicated group looking to share knowledge and tools to get you tender ready. In this episode, we are joined by Lorna Leonard, Managing Director of LBS, and Kirsty Maynard, Commercial Director of THSP, who are instrumental in running BedX, a group dedicated to sharing knowledge and tools to help businesses get tender ready for Universal and beyond. Listen to our roundtable discussion as we dive into why BedX was created, its main drivers, how it can support local businesses and how you can get involved.

THSP work with businesses across health and safety, HR and compliance, helping organizations make sure they've got the right systems, processes and people in place to operate safely, professionally and compliantly. THSP have been in operation since 1992 and support any type of organisation, from construction to food brands, global luxury retailers, major transport organizations, and complex international businesses operating in highly controlled environments. Lorna is the managing director of LBS. LBS is a business solutions company supporting sophisticated start-ups and growing corporations with outsourced finance department services, direction and solutions. She set-up the business 14 years ago, and has worked with organisations of all sizes, from blue chip companies to micro businesses of only 1 or 2 people. Regular listeners may recall Lorna from a previous episode, she also shares many insightful posts on LinkedIn and is certainly worth a follow! [07:05] What is BedX? It's A business-led working group powered by the Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce. It was created to help Bedfordshire businesses understand, prepare for and win work from the major investments coming into the region, in particular, the universal destinations and experiences, the Luton Airport expansion and other on-going linked projects. BedX's role is to connect, inform and prepare, but they don't lobby, they don't represent the developers and they don't do politics. They are simply there to help local businesses get ready. [07:45] What were the main drivers behind the creation of BedX? The Universal park is certainly the banner piece for the group. It's what all the big numbers are attached to, including 5 billion pounds worth of inward economic investment, 20,000 jobs created and the five years' worth of construction. However, that is just one part of the upcoming development going on in Bedfordshire. The big project is seeing more funding going into the area to support transport networks and other venues as investors seek to make Bedfordshire a place worth staying for more than just the Universal Park. Other projects include the expansion of the Wixams Train Station, construction at the Luton Hoo, the new Luton Town Football Club and a new Data Centre at Quest Pit. BedX was created in response to all of these projects, not just Universal. It's to help local businesses navigate these opportunities, as this small county has rarely seen such a seismic shift in the amount of investment going into the area. Even though the deadline for Universal Park is 5 years away, supply chains are looking for support now, which is why it's better to start preparing sooner rather than later. [10:20] Making Bedfordshire a play to stay: It's also not just about the venues, to prepare for the influx of tourists there will be more investment in housing and transport and related routes such as the work currently going on at the Black Cat roundabout. Kirsty states that the Bedford County Council have a scrutiny committee, which is currently labelled as the Universal Scrutiny Committee, and are in discussion about a viable tourist strategy for Bedfordshire. So, there is no doubt that there will be many more small projects going ahead within a very short timeframe to get the area ready. [12:00] How LBS's expertise is instrumental within BedX: Businesses that want to get involved may not know how to get working capital or access potential available funding, which is where Lorna's and LBS's expertise comes in to support BedX's aims. With tenders as highly valued as this, it can throw businesses through a loop if they're not prepared. Lorna shares a story where she explains that she used to work for a company that made point of purchase display equipment, this company had a US subsidiary called Anshauser-Busch, who own Budweiser. That subsidiary put through an order directly through to their factory, requesting a huge order be manufactured and delivered within 180 days. The cost of which was upwards of $2.7 million, which was due to suppliers 150 days prior to Lorna's company at the time being paid. It was their first time working with that subsidiary, so there was no guarantee on payment. The lessons they learned ended up shaping how the company operated going forward. All this to say, if you're bidding for high value contracts, you need to think about the opportunity from every perspective. [14:40] Be realistic about what you bid for: Kirsty states she is really passionate about ensuring businesses are trying to grow responsibly, so that they understand those terms in the bid and that they're realistic about the size of contract that they should be bidding for. If you're looking for more guidance in this area, Katie from Bids and Tender Support provided a webinar on this topic for BedX. It's available to view on-demand on BedX's website. [16:25] Lorna's role within BedX: Lorna reminds us that a lot of the Tier 1 contractors started out as 1 or 2 person businesses. She states that, honestly, 90% of the companies that BedX help will not be in direct contact with one of those Tier 1 contractors. However, supply chains are just that, a chain, there are many opportunities to get involved further down the line. Lorna feels as if that's a large part of her role, keeping businesses focused on the opportunities they can access within that supply chain. She is also keen to help all the local businesses understand how this is going to affect them, because whether they get involved in the various projects being built or not, the whole area is going to be affected regardless. She points out an example where they needed to source a large number of electricians, and it turns out that Bedfordshire simply doesn't have enough! So BedX is helping to make the wider community aware of training opportunities like this that can open doors for local businesses. [18:45] Other considerations for businesses operating in Bedfordshire: Lorna points out a few other concerns that people had about the on-going development in the area, including the possibility of local contractors putting prices up due to all the other projects. Timeframes may also be affected by both on-going work and the fact that more businesses will be getting involved in the area's development. [19:15] What are the group's main aims?: BedX's main aim is to be an opportunity exchange, they sit in the middle as a conduit between the opportunities and the Bedfordshire businesses and help to inform, educate and prepare to be a part of it. They are there to support preparation local businesses are able to access emerging supply chains as that waterfall flows down into tier 2 and 3 and even into 4 and 5 over the course of the project. If you're not sure which of those tiers you'd likely sit in, BedX have a helpful household checklist to find out. [20:20] Getting ISO Ready for Universal: Kirsty mentions that she's seen a lot of recent Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQ's) request that bidding companies are certified to ISO 27001 Information Security. Many will be familiar with the requests for ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety), but ISO 27001 seems to be a more recent pre-requisite. This is particularly the case for any Government contracts, with them stating either Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 must be in place for any bidding businesses. Carly points out that ISO 27001 in many cases is just the first step, as you can strengthen this with supporting Standards such as ISO 27701 (Privacy Information Management) and ISO 27017 & ISO 27018 (Cloud Security), which can give you an advantage over your competitors. If you've not got any Standards in place, or are just starting out on your implementation journey, you can get in contact with Blackmores as we'd be happy to guide you towards successful certification. [25:00] Kirsty's role within BedX: Kirsty's role is focused on coordination, though all BedX organisers are volunteers, they still want to ensure that actions are followed up and completed. Kirsty has a project planning background and brings those skills to the group. She also plays a key part in tender and procurement readiness, as she has years of experience with PQQ's from her work within the construction industry. She knows what good looks like when bidding for work, and ensures that knowledge is being passed on to those looking to bid for Universal and other Bedfordshire development projects. A trait that many of the BedX team hold, Kirsty and Lorna especially, is the motivation to help people, and this group allows them to do so at scale. [27:45] How can businesses get involved with BedX?: You don't need to be a member of the Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce to get involved. Currently BedX's main focus is on knowledge sharing, so their main output in webinars. They also have a tender diagnostic tool available, this is an online tool which takes just a few minutes to complete and will give you an idea of where you're already compliant and where there's work to be done. They have also had 1 in-person event, that being their official launch in April of 2026, which was attended by members from the Bedfordshire business community and representatives from Universal, Sizewell C and Luton Rising. They expect to run more in-person events in future, so keep an eye on their LinkedIn for news on these! Lorna hints at an upcoming event planned for September 2026

ESG is often talked about but rarely explained. Rachel Hales, founder of Get Synergised, joins me to discuss Environmental, Social and Governance, with a particular focus on the social element. We explore how businesses and charities can build meaningful partnerships, why community engagement should be part of everyday business, and the benefits of taking a more purposeful, long-term approach.

"We have seen a transformation between the public sector and the private sector in terms of their relationship. We've seen enormous change in this country." - Guy Battle, CEO of Social Value Portal The U.K. Social Value Act of 2012 requires all public sector buyers to ask suppliers how much their business will contribute to the community if they win the work up for bidding. It has not just become a differentiator among supplier proposals, it has shifted how the government is awarding its contracts. Contributions to social value are now being included in the award process alongside cost and quality. Guy Battle is the CEO of the Social Value Portal, and the author of a recent article published in the Journal of Public Procurement: "Social value as a lever for achieving value for money and community outcomes in procurement." He describes social value as a business's answer to the question: How do you contribute to our environment, support the local community, and bolster the local economy? In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Guy discusses social value with Kelly Barner in the context of: The longer term corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) movement Current regulations, and how they started a shift that has moved beyond compliance What has been required to allow social value to build momentum and achieve scale How public sector policy can drive change across the private sector supply base   Links: Guy Battle on LinkedIn JoPP Article: Social value as a lever for achieving value for money and community outcomes in procurement Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to the Art of Procurement Newsletter  

What is social value? It's a messy, ill-defined beast that's increasingly a core component of public procurement, and it's something that we worked on recently so it's been front of our minds.We invited Michael McLaughlin (LHC Procurement Group) onto the show to talk through what he thinks about social value, and what he thinks it could be if the sector was able to organise itself better. No shade intended and we're not suggesting that it's easy to fix things, but we have looked into it. While there's a lot of great work being done there are an unconscionable number of opportunities being wasted, and not for want of trying.Notes from the showMichael McLaughlin on LinkedInThe LHC Procurement Group website LHC on LinkedIn **SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this podcast, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

Livestock sale barns are often thought of as places where cattle are bought and sold. But for many producers, they also serve as important gathering spaces — places to exchange information, build relationships, and stay connected in an industry that can be isolating at times.In this episode of Nebraska FARMcast, Ryan Evans talks with Marilyn Schlake and Dr. Cheryl Burkhart-Kriesel of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Nebraska Extension about their new research on the social value of livestock sale barns in Nebraska. The conversation explores what they observed on sale days, what producers told them about connection and mental well-being, and why these spaces matter to both individuals and rural communities.The research is summarized in the report Beyond the Auction: The Social Impacts of Nebraska's Livestock Sale Barns, available from the Center for Agricultural Profitability.

A landmark report released this week has found Indigenous businesses are helping to make progress on Closing the Gap targets, creating $42.6 billion in social value each year. That means every dollar invested equates to $3.66 in social value. The report by Supply Nation, which runs the largest directory of Indigenous businesses in Australia, says it leads to improved mental health conditions, increased pride among communities, and a better connection to culture and Country. Supply Nation CEO Kate Russell spoke with Stephanie Youssef about the report's findings.

Driving more social value for people, communities and investors is not a corporate tick box exercise. It's a vital element for organizations that must increasingly demonstrate their purpose beyond profit, generating greater value for stakeholders and shareholders.Creating meaningful social value requires integrating a tailored social value strategy and an iterative mindset. To do this, you need the right mix of leadership, data-driven solutions and cross-sector expertise. When organizations make informed, responsible choices, they can drive growth, improve efficiency and enhance their reputation, all while creating long-term value for society and the environment.The two guests on this episode are celebrated for getting this mix right globally: Dr Mary-Kathryn Adams (known as MK), Chief Executive Officer of Simetrica-Jacobs, and Toyin Ogunfolaju, Director Social Value Americas at Jacobs.

In this conversation, Ted explores the evolving concept of masculinity in contemporary society, discussing the cultural, social, and political influences that shape male identity. They highlight the challenges young men face in finding role models and the impact of social media on perceptions of masculinity. The discussion also touches on the political landscape, examining how different parties address or fail to address the needs of men today. Ultimately, the conversation seeks to understand the future of masculinity and the importance of community and support in navigating modern relationships. In this conversation, the speakers explore the evolving concept of masculinity, emphasizing the importance of social value and societal frameworks in defining what it means to be a man. They discuss the consequences of a lack of guidance for young men, the need for strong male role models, and the balance between strength and responsibility.TakeawaysThe left has largely undermined the idea of masculinity.Change is inevitable, but growth is optional.Young men often feel pressured to hold onto their youth.Human beings need something to aim for to motivate themselves.Social media influences perceptions of masculinity.There is a lack of viable role models for young men today.The Republican Party offers a traditional view of masculinity.Cultural narratives shape young men's aspirations.The absence of positive male role models creates a vacuum.Navigating modern relationships requires renegotiating traditional roles.

A consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic is that workers increasingly want work that aligns with their values. Given that Gen Z, the next generation of accountants, is characterized by a focus on ESG issues, we use an experiment to test whether emphasizing sustainability assurance roles attracts individuals to the profession and which types of individuals are most attracted. We find individuals are more interested in becoming accountants when sustainability assurance positions are emphasized, relative to financial positions. We further find individuals with a prosocial (but not proself) social value orientation drive this result due to the greater intrinsic appeal of sustainability jobs to these individuals. We also find some evidence that prosocial individuals exhibit lower professional skepticism than proself individuals, highlighting a potential negative consequence of attracting prosocial individuals to the profession. Our findings illuminate how the accounting profession can attract prosocial individuals and one implication of doing so. Authors: Horne, Eric, Serena Loftus, Sarah Shonka McCoy, and Amanda M. Winn.

Dr. Richard Haier is an emeritus professor of Pediatric Neurology at UC Irvine, who spent his career studying the neuroscience of intelligence. Over the course of his career, Haier has come to believe in the existence of a “g-factor,” a measurable quantity of broad spectrum intelligence that is universally predictive of success in all cultures. He also believes that intelligence is a fixed characteristic, and that it's possible to predict someone's intelligence by watching how their brain works when trying to solve a puzzle. We sit down with him to figure out how far one can take this theory of intelligence before running headlong into a heartless social darwinism, why intelligence research feels so creepy, if IQ tests are actually measuring what we think they're measuring, if intelligence is really the thing that we should be optimizing for, and if it's possible for technology to make us dumber.

What does it take to succeed as a business while doing well by your employees? Harvard Business School professor emeritus Michael Beer has studied companies who invest in building long-term social value, and he says they offer some key lessons for other firms. In this episode, he breaks down how these companies set their strategies for new products and services. As he explains: “One of the key disciplines they have is what we called forging a strategic identity. So what does that mean? It means that they, first of all, start the process of deciding what they're going to do, what services or products they're going to offer…what markets they will go into…by first asking themselves, ‘Who are we?' They start from the inside out…rather than from the outside in.” Michael Beer is also the coauthor of Higher Ambition: How Great Leaders Create Economic and Social Value.Key episode topics include: strategy, leadership. HBR On Strategy curates the best case studies and conversations with the world's top business and management experts, to help you unlock new ways of doing business.

Did you know for every £1 you spend on even simple Biophilic Design enhancements, you could get £2.70 back? So reveals the new research conducted by Joyce Chan Shoof Architect and Sustainability Lead at the UK Parliament. Using a scientific approach with control environments, adding biophilic design elements to test the effect and then removing them to further test the effect of their absence, Joyce explains the rigorous approach she took over a seven-year period to arrive at her conclusion.This is a phenomenal breakthrough for those of us working in Biophilic Design.You can read the whole report here: https://plplabs.com/reap-what-you-sow-2/And come and see Joyce present the research in person at Workplace Trends in London on the 18th April 2024 https://workplacetrends.co/events/wtrs24-prog/We often have struggled trying to articulate the economic benefits of Biophilic Design, this research can be used to support arguments why businesses need it in the workplace. Joyce has also developed a framework to help designers work out what we need and the impact it will have. Using existing frameworks, like the Flourish model (as advocated by Professor Derek Clements Croome) and others, she has woven a great new model we can all hang our designs on.From a career as a practicing architect, Joyce explains that transferring to the client side within the Parliamentary Estate has been transformational in the way she sees building design from feasibility study through to construction. The change and the opportunity it gave her has inspired her to incorporate multidisciplinary approaches and to study the impact of taking a biophilic design on efficiency, productivity and well-being within the workplace.Just like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, one interesting outcome that she highlights during the podcast, the study concludes that an immersive approach to incorporating Biophilic Design in the workplace is less effective overall than a more measured approach. But she explains that the immersive effect was preferred by people. The results showed that the moderate Biophilic Design intervention (that which we could normally advocate) seems to be the best.Joyce sees academic rigour as an important part of her role when leading a complex development. Since 2017, she has been conducting this doctoral research with the Design School at Loughborough University, focused on Sustainable Well-being in the workplace with a particular interest in biophilic and social value. She is a keen advocate of how Architects can make positive impacts towards allowing people to live happier and healthier. Her team sits within the Design Authority who are a group of design professionals and specialists who are managing the estate in Westminster, and their objective is to inject new thinking into the adaptive use of new and heritage buildings within the Parliamentary Estate – a UNESCO site. Parliament's vision is amibitious; it aims to set an example to lead the early adoption of Zero Carbon (Scope 1, 2 & 3), Healthy Buildings, Social Value and Circular Economy through our own refurbishment projects and procurement. The team manages the design, construction and operations of the Parliamentary Estate of 20 buildings including the Palace of Westminster. Joyce discusses her study of the economic benefits of incorporating a biophilic design approach to workspace and gives many insights into her approach and into how she found a way of attributing economic value to the benefits.Her wish is that we reconnect with nature, the sources of food, the feeling of being part of nature rather than living lives that separate us from the natural world. She wishes that all of us benefit from an improved environment, and her research is a massive and welcome step in that direction. To register for Workplace Trends and meet Joyce in person on the 18th of April 2024: https://workplacetrends.co/events/wtrs24-prog/Reap What You Sow: What's the value (£) of Biophilic Design? (14.40)– Joyce Chan-Schoof (RIBA), PhD Research Researcher, Loughborough University and Sustainability Lead, UK ParliamentGiven employees are the largest cost for a business, to what extent can biophilic design save companies money by ensuring that staff are healthier and happier at work? We explore these questions by delving into the monetary benefits of biophilic design. This presentation presents new ways to capture the tangible well-being and environmental values of connecting with nature in the workplace. This project is part of a doctoral research project at Loughborough University in collaboration with PLP Architects, Benholm and Reading University. Joyce's research is funded by the Design Star (AHRC), and the BCO sponsored the pilot study.Read more and follow up on the research:https://plplabs.com/wearables-in-the-workplace/https://www.bco.org.uk/Research/Publications/Use_of_Wearables_In_The_Office_-_A_review_and_examples_in_practice.aspxHave you got a copy of the Journal?
