Social Value Delivery & Assurance System – Capability Statement
Capability Statement

Social Value Delivery & Assurance System

A governance and reporting framework that turns Social Value commitments into measurable, auditable outcomes across complex supply chains – aligned to PPN 002 and The Crown Estate’s Supplier Charter.

Net zero, nature, thriving communities Workforce inequality & early careers (Outcome 6 & 7) Multi-supplier frameworks & portfolios
Built for contracting authorities, framework leads and prime suppliers who need one version of the truth on Social Value delivery across every supplier and geography.
What this solves
Fragmented Social Value delivery
Inconsistent commitments, weak evidence and limited visibility across multi-tier supply chains.
What it provides
One governed system
A single framework to capture, track, verify and report Social Value across all suppliers and contracts.
Who it serves
Authorities & suppliers
Contracting authorities, framework leads, offshore wind developers, ports and Tier 1–3 suppliers.
Anchored in the Crown Estate Supplier Charter

A system that operationalises Charter principles

The Crown Estate asks suppliers to demonstrate their commitment across five key areas: Health, Safety & Wellbeing, Sustainability, Ethical & Inclusive Practices, Privacy & Information Security, and Innovative Business Practices. This capability translates those expectations into a practical Social Value operating model that can be applied consistently across the extended supply chain.

Health, safety & wellbeing
Social Value plans are designed to reinforce Safety-First cultures and wellbeing commitments: from safe delivery of community programmes to inclusive work environments for new entrants.
  • Evidence of safe work practices in all Social Value activities.
  • Integration of mental-health and wellbeing initiatives into delivery plans.
Sustainability & nature
Metrics and commitments are aligned to net zero, nature recovery and community resilience – reflecting the joined-up approach to land, sea and climate.
  • Tracking of carbon, green skills, biodiversity and nature-based initiatives.
  • Clear line of sight between Social Value actions and climate & nature outcomes.
Ethical, inclusive, secure & innovative
Governance ensures that Social Value is delivered in a way that is fair, ethical and future-facing.
  • Outcome 6 & 7 monitoring, Living Wage, DEI and modern-slavery controls.
  • Privacy-by-design for workforce data and use of digital tools to foster innovation.
What I deliver

A complete Social Value delivery & assurance system

This is more than a dashboard. It is a full Social Value PMO wrapped around your programmes – combining structure, tools and advisory support to ensure that commitments made at tender stage are realistic, deliverable, evidenced and reportable.

1. Framework & commitments
  • PPN 002-aligned Social Value framework and standardised commitment menu.
  • Social Value Commitments Register at framework, contract and supplier level.
  • Supplier-type and size-specific options to keep expectations proportionate.
2. Delivery, evidence & risk
  • SharePoint-based Delivery Tracker with period-by-period progress monitoring.
  • Evidence library and verification workflow for Outcome 6 & 7 and other KPIs.
  • Social Value Risk Register with defined triggers, mitigations and escalation routes.
3. Insight, maturity & reporting
  • Power BI-ready dashboards for framework, contract and supplier views.
  • Supplier Charter maturity assessments (Expected → Developing → Leading).
  • Quarterly and annual reports suitable for internal governance and external disclosure.
How it works

An end-to-end Social Value operating model

The system is designed to sit alongside your existing programme management and commercial processes. It uses familiar Microsoft tools (SharePoint, Power BI, Teams) to minimise learning curves, while embedding a disciplined Social Value lifecycle that covers design, mobilisation, delivery, assurance and learning.

1 Define Social Value framework & KPIs 2 Capture supplier commitments 3 Mobilise & baseline with suppliers 4 Track delivery & verify evidence 5 Manage risk & variances 6 Report impact & feed lessons into future rounds

This model is particularly suited to initiatives such as offshore wind leasing rounds, regeneration programmes, major capital frameworks and other long-term portfolios where Social Value needs to be visible and comparable over many years.

Who this is for

• Contracting authorities and framework leads who need a robust system for tracking and assuring Social Value across dozens of suppliers.
• Offshore wind developers, ports and marine clusters seeking clear, defensible evidence of economic, social and environmental benefits in coastal communities.
• Tier 1–3 suppliers who want to strengthen their Social Value delivery, reduce risk and differentiate themselves in competitive tenders.
• Investors and funders who require consistent, portfolio-level Social Value and impact reporting.

The outcomes

From commitments on paper to value on the ground

One version of the truth
A single, governed dataset showing Social Value commitments and delivery status across all suppliers, projects and geographies – traceable from tender to impact.
Reduced non-delivery risk
Early visibility of under-performance, clear accountability, and a structured escalation route significantly reduce the likelihood of missed Social Value obligations.
Stronger community impact
Suppliers are enabled and supported to deliver high-quality, relevant and inclusive Social Value interventions that support net zero, nature and thriving communities.

Let's turn Social Value commitments into measurable outcomes

I work with organisations to design and implement Social Value systems that are practical, proportionate and fully aligned to The Crown Estate’s expectations and UK government guidance.
