What does the Addresses Social in Social Value Self-Assessment include?
The Addresses Social in Social Value Self-Assessment includes 217 auditable questions across six maturity domains, a five-point scoring rubric, an automated Excel gap analysis tool, 18 customisable Word templates for policy and procurement, a standards cross-reference matrix, 36 real-world case studies, and a 90-day implementation roadmap, all delivered as instant digital downloads in ready-to-use formats.
The Addresses Social in Social Value Self-Assessment equips compliance managers, social value leads, and public sector programme officers with a structured, evidence-based method to identify, prioritise, and validate social value impacts across procurement and service delivery. Without a standardised framework, organisations risk inconsistent reporting, failed Social Value Act compliance, missed contract opportunities, and reputational damage from unsubstantiated claims. This self-assessment delivers immediate clarity through 217 rigorously categorised questions aligned with the UK Social Value Model, NHS Standards for Public Involvement, and ISO 26000 guidance, enabling you to benchmark current performance, justify investment in community outcomes, and produce audit-ready documentation within hours, not weeks.
What You Receive
- 217 structured self-assessment questions across six maturity domains, Strategic Alignment, Community Engagement, Supplier Inclusion, Environmental Co-Benefits, Measurable Outcomes, and Governance, enabling you to conduct a full social value gap analysis
- Five-level maturity scoring rubric (Initial to Optimised) for each question, allowing precise benchmarking against industry best practice and regulatory expectations
- Automated gap analysis worksheet (Excel format) that calculates your overall social value maturity score, highlights high-risk domains, and generates a prioritised remediation roadmap
- 18 policy and procurement alignment templates (Word format) including stakeholder engagement plans, supplier social value clauses, and impact reporting statements, customisable for local authority, NHS, or third-sector use
- 36 verified case studies and benefit statements drawn from UK local government, healthcare, and housing providers, providing defensible examples for tender submissions and annual reporting
- Standards cross-reference matrix mapping every assessment criterion to the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012, Levelling Up White Paper targets, and Social Value Portal's National Themes, ensuring compliance alignment
- Implementation roadmap with milestone checklist guiding you from initial assessment to validated improvement in under 90 days, including role assignments and review cadence
How This Helps You
You gain the ability to systematically prove social value integration across your programmes, turning vague commitments into auditable actions. Each question drives actionable insight: “Do you have a documented process for capturing lived experience in service design?” identifies engagement gaps before they undermine a bid. The scoring model enables you to justify resource allocation, showing executives exactly where improvement will yield the highest return on social investment. Without this tool, teams rely on ad hoc checklists or incomplete frameworks, exposing contracts to challenge, weakening Ofgem/Ofsted/CC audits, and leaving funding opportunities unclaimed. With it, you future-proof delivery against tightening social value mandates, strengthen evaluation rigour, and build organisational capability that competitors without formal assessment methods cannot match.
Who Is This For?
- Public sector procurement leads required to assess social value in tender evaluations under the Social Value Act
- Compliance officers in NHS trusts and local authorities preparing for regulatory reviews or Integrated Care System reporting
- Social value managers in housing associations and utility providers developing impact frameworks for ESG and sustainability disclosures
- Consultants and third-sector leaders building robust proposals for public contracts requiring measurable community benefit
- Project managers implementing Levelling Up Fund or UKSPF programmes needing defensible social return on investment (SROI) metrics
