Social Value Consulting

Understand your Social Value opportunity.

We engage key stakeholders to draw out what is going well and what is getting in the way of delivering Social Value. Our experts help you understand your track record, how to build on it and what your next steps should be.

Set yourself up for success.

Our strategy experts conduct interviews, facilitate workshops and draw on our in-house maturity diagnostic tool to identify strengths, gaps and opportunities to drive Social Value in your organisation. We will collaborate with you to create a Strategy Action Plan to implement solutions for the short, medium and long-term.

Demonstrate your commitment to Social Value.

Capture existing Social Value activities and corporate programmes, develop a measures set, and consolidate into recommendations and/or a comprehensive report.

Differentiate your organisation from competitors.

We help bidders to the public sector build a considered and robust response to Social Value tender questions, ensuring you following key principles and make reasonable commitments. We also deliver training on Social Value, the TOM System™ and the Social Value Model to bid teams to build expertise.

Communicate your Social Value ambitions.

Our planning experts immerse themselves in your design team for new developments and create a place-based Social Value Statement for the scheme. It provides clear Social Value commitments and recommendations for every step of the development lifecycle.

Embed Social Value at the heart of planning.

Incorporating Social Value into planning policy helps local authorities maximise long-term, positive outcomes for the communities they serve. Our team helps planners understand how best to do this, from leveraging the Local Plan and updating Validation Requirements, to creating supporting guidance for development teams.

Drive Social Value across the planning industry.

We develop partnerships with planning consultants who can license the Social Value TOM System™ and use it to create Social Value Statements for new developments. We share guidance and deliver a training programme to ensure it is used correctly and a robust process is followed.
