TCE Leasing Rounds – Social Value Performance & Assurance Dashboard (Concept)

TCE Leasing Rounds – Social Value Performance & Assurance Dashboard

Conceptual view, based on Round 5 experience, showing how Social Value commitments made at tender stage (Rounds 6–8) can be tracked, assured and reported across suppliers, regions and time.
Concept – Illustrative Data Only
Aligned to Procurement Act 2023, PPN 002 & NPPS
Advisory View For Crown Estate and appointed advisors (e.g. Grant Thornton) to monitor delivery and assure impact.
Rounds covered: 4  |  5  |  6  |  7  |  8 (illustrative)
Overall Social Value delivery
72% of committed outcomes delivered
▲ +9 pts vs. previous reporting year (framework-wide)
Connects directly to commitments defined in ITT schedules for Rounds 6–8 (e.g. Outcome 6 metrics under PPN 002).
From tender to delivery
  • 100% suppliers with clear Social Value schedules at award
  • 96% suppliers have submitted at least one report
  • 92% reports submitted on time
  • 3 issues escalated via GT / Hadom Consulting SV PMO (0 unresolved)
Shows how the Social Value approach designed at procurement stage flows directly into governance and assurance during delivery.
Economic footprint & regions
UK-wide benefits with regional focus
  • 4,850 direct jobs supported (est.)
  • 1,120 apprenticeships over 12-year horizon
  • Wales: 31% of Social Value benefits
  • South West England: 27%  |  Rest of UK: 42%
Underpins TCE’s licence-to-operate narrative and supports devolved-nation conversations.
Assurance snapshot
  • 18 suppliers Green (on track)
  • 4 Amber (remedial plans in place)
  • 1 Red (escalated under TCE governance)
Supports early challenge and intervention, reducing risk of high-profile failure or legal challenge.
Outcome 6 – Workforce Inequality (MAC 6.1, PPN 002)
Employment & training for those who face barriers to employment, including action to tackle inequality in employment, skills and pay.
Primary Social Value focus
Jobs for priority groups
78%
Apprenticeships created/retained
63%
Disabled people in good work
48%
Metrics illustrated here are compatible with PPN 002 standard reporting metrics, TOMs, or TCE bespoke indicators, without forcing a single monetisation model.
Social Value themes & missions
Across Rounds 4–8 (illustrative blend of MAC 6 & 7 and wider missions)
Jobs & Skills
74%
SMEs & Supply Chain Development
68%
Environment & Nature
59%
Equal Opportunity & Inclusion
71%
Wellbeing & Community
61%
Themes and KPIs are configured during the Discovery & Design phase for each leasing round, based on TCE’s strategic objectives and market testing.
Geographical distribution of benefits (illustrative)
Supports devolution & local licence to operate
  • Wales – 31% of Social Value benefits
  • South West England – 27%
  • North East England – 14%
  • Scotland – 10%
  • Rest of UK – 18%
  • Outside UK – 0% (requirements designed to retain benefits in UK)
Based on Round 5 lessons learned: social value benefits are required to accrue within the UK, with the ability to focus on host communities for specific rounds.
Supplier assurance & delivery risk
Framework-wide view
  • 18 suppliers Green (meeting or exceeding commitments)
  • 4 Amber (slight slippage; remedial support agreed)
  • 1 Red (material risk; escalated to TCE governance)
  • 92% of Social Value KPIs have evidence attached
  • 85% of suppliers engaged in at least one remedial / learning action over last 12 months
Supplier Status Key focus Next action
Developer A Green Apprenticeships, UK-wide skills pipeline Share best practice across portfolio
Developer B Amber Diversity targets (2035) Agree recovery plan & quarterly checkpoints
Developer C Red Evidence gaps; delayed reporting Escalation to TCE governance; legal review if no improvement
Status categories and escalation routes align with TCE governance, Procurement Act duties and risk appetite, helping to manage the risk of challenge and public scrutiny.
Key risks & issues (Social Value lens)
Market capacity & affordability Regional balance of benefits Reporting burden on bidders
  • Market sensitivity: dashboard allows TCE and advisors to stress-test different Social Value scenarios (e.g. minimum thresholds, regional requirements) against market feedback gathered via the Commercial Advisor framework.
  • Challenge risk: focus on simple, transparent metrics at tender stage, with more advanced valuation options available for internal analysis rather than mandated for bidders.
  • Time horizon: supports long lead times (12+ years) by separating near-term activity KPIs from longer-term outcome indicators.
Configurable measurement approach
  • Metric set: can be configured to use PPN 002 standard metrics, TOMS, or bespoke TCE indicators without creating an onerous requirement for bidders.
  • Valuation model: financial proxies (e.g. HM Treasury Green Book, SROI) can be applied internally for economic analysis without being mandated at tender stage.
  • Discovery first: metric configuration informed by early Discovery workshops with TCE, drawing on Round 5 lessons learned.
This preserves flexibility for TCE while demonstrating that Grant Thornton and Hadom Consulting understand the choices available and can advise on trade-offs.
Advisory note (for discussion with Crown Estate): This dashboard is not a prescribed software product. It is a conceptual end-state that illustrates how the Social Value approach designed for Rounds 6–8 can flow from ITT schedules and evaluation criteria into governance, risk management and public-facing reporting, using simple and familiar metrics aligned to the Social Value Model (MAC 6.1 / Outcome 6) and the Procurement Act 2023.
