A score tells you where you stand. We show you exactly what to strengthen before your next bid.

The challenge often isn't the decision to invest in Social Value, but knowing which gaps are costing you marks in bids. This assessment maps your maturity dimension by dimension, surfaces where your evidence is thin, and points you at the fixes that lift your tender scores and your real-world impact.

The five maturity dimensions

Every dimension that shapes your Social Value score.

We map your maturity across the five dimensions that determine how well your organisation understands, embeds, and delivers Social Value, so you can see at a glance where you lead and where you need to strengthen.

  • Dimension 1

Leadership & Organisational Readiness

How well Social Value and corporate sustainability are understood and supported at a leadership level. We test whether accountability is clear and whether senior buy-in is real, not just stated in a policy.

  • Dimension 2

Policy & Strategy Foundations

Whether your organisation has formalised its intentions and approach to Social Value. We look at your strategy, policy, and whether it extends to your supply chain, and check that it aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

  • Dimension 3

Bidding & Business Development Integration

How well Social Value is integrated into your business development and procurement activity. We assess your bid writing expertise and whether you tailor each response to the client's specific priorities, rather than reusing a generic narrative.

  • Dimension 4

Delivery & Operational Implementation

How effectively Social Value is delivered in practice through your contracts and projects. We check who owns delivery, how well commitments are implemented, and whether there is a dedicated budget behind the promises made in your bids.

  • Dimension 5

Monitoring, Reporting & Continuous Improvement

How you use metrics, monitoring, and feedback to track and enhance Social Value performance. We look at whether you track commitments centrally, use defined metrics such as the TOMs framework, and report at a credible frequency.

How the assessment works.

The assessment adapts as you go. Your earlier answers shape what comes next, so you only see the questions that are genuinely relevant to your business. Every question is built around what public sector buyers actually score, giving you a clear, tiered read on where you stand and where to act next.

We heard today that we received the highest score for our recent tender bid to the [Procuring Authority]. This was helped in no small regard by us getting full marks (10/10) for our social value response. Huge credit to you all for helping achieve this. So thank you for the guidance, advice and knowledge you imparted to get us the top marks available. We have further tenders to submit to the [Procuring Authority] over the coming months so we will no doubt be asking for further help!
