Do I have to pay?

To report on your verified social value data against the widely recognised social value framework, sign up as a member. To find out more, please get in touch

Suppliers can register for an account and make a social value submission through their invitation. Once the contract is awarded, there may be a fee for contract management support, communicated through the procurer’s tender documents. This is based on a percentage of the contract value and paid by the winning bidder only.

How do I register for a tender?

You will need to follow the link that has been provided by the procuring authority and is included in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) documentation.
For support on this, you can get in touch with our customer support team.

Can I register for a tender using an international postcode?

While we are looking into global markets, the National TOMs framework is currently designed to allow organisations to measure Social Value delivered within the UK so any Portal registrations will ask for a UK postcode.

If you do not have a UK postcode and want to register for a tender, please contact our Support team to help with the registration at [email protected]

Do suppliers have to pay?

Once the contract for a project is awarded, there will be an annual fee for contract management support which is communicated within the project’s tender documentation. This fee is based on a percentage of the contract value and is to be paid by the winning bidder only. You are then provided with further access to the Portal where you can manage your social value delivery throughout the project lifecycle.
