The benefits that QA will receive as one of our social value partners include being listed on our website as a contributor to social value via our contract with the Metropolitan Police, access to new opportunities with our client over the next three years and inclusion in the direct reports and MI information shared with the client.

QA delivers training and tech skills to UK companies large and small with more than 281,000 people completing their learning with QA in 2021. They are specialists in technology – providing a comprehensive suite of talent and training services helping individuals and companies to be winners in the digital revolution.

Ross Buckland – Head of Sales at QA said, “Delivering Social Value has become as important a facet of QA’s offering as we know providing our Public Sector customers value-for-money is of paramount importance."

"QA is an already well established learning provider across the public sector, whose different organisations choose and trust our services. We value our long standing agreement with Premier Partnership and as such we are happy to support them and the Metropolitan Police in giving back to our communities and the various great projects ongoing within them."

"We recognise the social value our learning brings to our customers, with the UK digital skills gap widening all the time, our aim is to reverse that trend and support both our local communities as well as the economy as a whole with a better skilled, more digitally enabled workforce.”

With an estimated £75,000 donated to Givewith through Premier Partnership’s contract with the Metropolitan Police during the 2021/22 financial year, we are finding more and more clients are asking for examples of how we are supporting social value and this is a great opportunity for our partners to use this as part of their own social value incentive and can they can then share the results and impact this contribution has with their own clients.
