Demonstrating Social Value - Evidence that Wins Contracts

This programme by the GM Business Growth Hub will give you a deeper understanding in to the most common measurement frameworks used to measure and report on Social Value.

Once you’ve embedded Social Value within your business, the next step is learning how to measure and demonstrate your impact effectively.

Social Value is about more than good intentions — it’s about showing real, measurable results that matter to buyers, communities, and stakeholders. This practical workshop focuses on how to evaluate, quantify, and communicate your organisation’s Social Value through widely recognised frameworks.

You’ll learn how to assess your impact, calculate Social Return on Investment (SROI), and use frameworks such as the National TOMs (Themes, Outcomes and Measures) and the Social Value Model. You’ll also explore how environmental weighting and carbon reduction plans influence tender scoring — and how to position your business accordingly.
