Spelthorne’s Corporate Plan for Suppliers & Businesses

Spelthorne Borough Council’s Corporate Plan 2024–2028 sets out a powerful vision for the borough — one that places community, sustainability, resilience, housing needs and high-quality services at the centre of local priorities.
For businesses and suppliers operating in, serving, or aspiring to work within Spelthorne, this plan provides clear direction on what matters most.

At Hadom Consulting, we help organisations understand these priorities and translate them into credible, contract-winning Social Value commitments that align with the Council’s strategic ambitions.

What the Corporate Plan Prioritises

Spelthorne’s Corporate Plan focuses on five strategic areas:

1. Community

Supporting residents to live healthy, fulfilling lives and fostering inclusive, connected, supported communities.

2. Addressing Housing Need

Ensuring development meets local needs, improves living conditions and is accompanied by appropriate infrastructure.

3. Resilience

Strengthening the borough’s ability to respond to future challenges — from economic pressures to social inequalities.

4. Environment

Delivering on the climate emergency through carbon reduction, sustainable lifestyles, and improved environmental stewardship.

5. Services

Providing high-quality, responsive, accessible public services and working collaboratively with partners to meet residents’ needs.

Underpinning these priorities is a commitment to inclusive, sustainable, community-centred growth — the very essence of Social Value.

What This Means for Social Value in Procurement

Social Value is now embedded in Spelthorne's procurement framework as a weighted evaluation criterion — meaning suppliers must demonstrate how they will deliver community, environmental, and socio-economic benefits alongside core contract delivery.

For suppliers, this creates both expectation and opportunity.

Contracts increasingly favour organisations that can show:

• Clear understanding of Spelthorne’s priorities

• Evidence-based, measurable Social Value commitments

• Partnerships with local VCSEs and community groups

• Realistic delivery plans and reporting mechanisms

• Alignment with environmental and sustainability goals

• A consistent track record of impact

Social Value has become a commercial imperative for suppliers who want to remain competitive.

How Suppliers Can Turn This Into Competitive Advantage

To succeed, suppliers need Social Value proposals that are:

• Aligned to the Corporate Plan

• Proportionate to their organisation’s size and capabilities

• Meaningful to local residents and communities

• Measurable, auditable and realistic

• Deliverable within contract timescales

• Credible in the eyes of evaluators

This is where Hadom Consulting adds value.
