Why partner with us?

In the UK, the Social Value Act means public spending must consider:

• Economic wellbeing

• Social wellbeing

• Environmental wellbeing

If you’re bidding for work in the public sector, clear evidence of the social value your business builds is not just desirable, it’s essential.

Under the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012, if you want to bid for public sector contracts you’ll need to show how your business works to improve economic, social and environmental wellbeing in the communities you serve.

Social value performance can make up 10–20% of total tender weighting, meaning companies that can evidence strong social value commitment consistently win more work. And the benefits stretch beyond increased turnover, Research by Deloitte shows that companies with strong social impact programmes enjoy 50 per cent less staff turnover and 13 per cent higher productivity.

And it’s not just the public sector. Private companies benefit hugely, through higher employee engagement and satisfaction, recruitment and retention, brand trust.

Helping you reach your customers

Consumers are increasingly turning to companies which demonstrate strong social value.

Recent research shows:

53% of UK consumers prefer purchasing from companies that explicitly align with their values and beliefs
24% would choose a brand that supports a charity while 41% would at least sometimes be more inclined to shop with a retailer that supports a charity
69% of people believe businesses must support the communities in which they operate.

Supporting Get A‑Head gives your organisation a credible, measurable and human‑centred way to demonstrate social value – helping you win work, retain clients and customers and strengthen your reputation.
