A social value pioneer

Since 2013, we’ve enabled over £6bn in social value for public sector organisations. From apprenticeships and SME growth to sustainable design and carbon reduction, we work with you alongside our framework partners to make procurement a driver of long-term positive change.

What is social value?

Social value is the wider community benefit your project creates. In public sector procurement, it means every pound spent also supports people, communities and the environment, through jobs, local business growth, skills, sustainability, and wellbeing.
By building social value into every project, we make sure they don’t just deliver what’s needed now but deliver a positive lasting impact.

Our philosophy

Social value is at the heart of how we work.

We see every project as an opportunity to boost local economies and create opportunities for people. From supporting small businesses to delivering lasting community benefits, we work with you to make sure every project leaves a positive impact. Since launching in 2013, we’ve helped enable more than £6 billion in social value. That’s thousands of jobs, apprenticeships, training opportunities, and community initiatives — real changes that people can see and feel.

How we make an impact

Social value strategy

We work with you to identify opportunities, set clear targets, and deliver outcomes that go beyond the core project. Alongside our framework partners, we help maximise the impact your investment can have on your community.

Backing local businesse

The frameworks we manage are built to give local SMEs and microbusinesses a fair shot at public sector work. That means keeping more business local, helping small businesses grow, and building stronger regional economies.

Measuring what matters

We work with Loop to track and report social value on every project. It’s a transparent way to show exactly what’s being achieved, whether it’s jobs created, carbon saved, or community projects supported.
