Setting credible social value requirements
Procurement teams often struggle to specify social value KPIs that are meaningful, measurable, and proportionate to contract value. Vague requirements lead to vague claims and poor accountability.
Who We Help
Social Value in Procurement
Set meaningful social value requirements. Evidence real delivery.
Procurement and commissioning teams are under growing pressure to embed social value into contracts and to evidence that suppliers are actually delivering. The Social Value Engine gives you the measurement framework and tools to make social value requirements credible, comparable, and defensible at every stage of the procurement cycle.
The challenge
What organisations in your sector face
Evaluating supplier social value bids
Scoring social value commitments at tender stage is difficult when bids use different frameworks, different metrics, and different financial values for similar outcomes.
Evidencing delivery post-award
Even with good KPIs in contracts, monitoring delivery against commitments and producing credible evidence for contract management remains a significant challenge.
How SVE helps

SROI-based KPI development
Use our proxy library and methodology to build outcome-focused social value KPIs for contracts, with financial values attached from the outset, making evaluation and monitoring straightforward.
