A perfect blend: Introducing enhanced Social Value Model capabilities

Written by Alfie | Oct 8, 2024 9:00:00 AM

Social Value Portal's platform has allowed customers to report against Central Government’s Social Value Model for several years, but feedback from customers taught us that there was more work to do to enhance this experience.  

Our goal was to offer a centralised space for customers to report the delivery of Social Value initiatives with ease, whilst still taking advantage of the unique rigour that the TOM System offers – so credibility and integrity aren’t at risk.  

Insights from the team 

 “We talked to a range of suppliers to central government to understand how we could make their lives easier when it came to Social Value reporting. Those conversations made it clear that needed to put the Model Award Criteria front and centre, include the Reporting Metrics alongside TOM System measures and create off-the-shelf reports that suppliers can use to show their procuring authorities they're meeting their goals and delivering real impact to local communities."

- Rahul Savadia, Senior Product Manager, Social Value Portal
