Phase 2 · Strategy & Planning · From Idea to Executable Plan
Social Value Measurement & Reporting
The Social Value Act has made social value a procurement criterion for public sector contracts. The organisations that measure and report it credibly win the contracts. The ones that cannot are at a disadvantage that is growing every year.
Social value measurement and reporting is the systematic identification, quantification, and communication of the social value an organisation generates through its operations, its employment practices, its supply chain, and its community engagement — producing the credible evidence that public sector commissioners and ESG-focused private clients are increasingly requiring as a condition of contract award and renewal.
The Pain We Solve
You may recognise yourself in one of these.
Three audience scenarios · because the same service produces a different transformation depending on where you are in the business journey.
Scenario 1
The business or social enterprise bidding for public sector contracts where social value is a mandatory evaluation criterion but has not developed the measurement or reporting capability required
The public sector tender requires a social value response — specific commitments, measurement methodology, and reporting framework. The business is committed to social value in practice but has never measured or reported it formally, and the quality of the bid response is weaker than the actual social value the organisation generates.
Scenario 2
The business that has made social value commitments in contract bids and is now required to evidence the delivery of those commitments in contract performance reporting
The social value commitments were made to win the contract. The contract is awarded. The commissioner is now asking for evidence that the commitments are being delivered against the agreed social value plan. The measurement and reporting infrastructure to provide that evidence has not been built.
Scenario 3
The organisation that wants to use its social value performance proactively — to differentiate from competitors, attract investment, and retain the public sector contracts that are increasingly evaluating on this basis
The social value is being generated but not measured. The competitive advantage it represents is not being captured because the evidence does not exist in a form that can be used in bids, in investor conversations, or in the annual report that clients and partners will read.

Why We Price This Way
Every engagement is sized around the value we believe we can create with you. The fee is always a fraction of the outcome · typically 10 – 20% of the expected first-year return.
This is how we make sure pricing aligns with results. The conversation is never “what does this cost?” · it is always “what is this worth to your business?” We answer that together in the first call, transparently, and decide the right tier from there.
If we cannot articulate a credible 5–10× return for your specific situation, we will tell you in the first call. That honesty is part of why our clients trust us with the work that matters most.
Why This Conversation Matters
“Social value is not a new concept for the organisations that have always operated with a social conscience. What is new is the requirement to measure it, report it, and evidence it in ways that commissioners and investors can evaluate. We build the measurement and reporting system that makes the value visible.”
A 90-minute structured strategy session · produces a usable roadmap whether you engage further or not.
