Efficio’s commitment to Social Value

Our approach integrates social value into every stage of your value chain, ensuring that the benefits extend beyond financial outcomes to deliver lasting impacts for communities, economies, and the environment.

Delivering Social Value

Strategic integration: Embedding Social Value in procurement

We work with you to identify, define and embed social value considerations within your organisation and procurement processes. 
By working closely with you and your stakeholders, we ensure your social value goals reflect the needs and priorities of the local communities you're operating in and the projects you're delivering.
Aligned with the latest Social Value Models and policies, we incorporate economic, social, and environmental outcomes into procurement strategies, supporting government-led initiatives such as fair work, sustainable procurement practices, and inclusive employment opportunities and the objectives set out in the new National Procurement Policy Statement.

Tracking and monitoring commitments

We track and monitor all our committed outcomes and deliverables against your goals to ensure the delivery of your social value commitments.

The Procurement Act 2023 mandates a more substantial obligation to demonstrate how social value is being delivered in contracts, moving from merely 'considering' social value to having 'regard to' its implementation. This means ensuring measurable outcomes through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and regular reporting mechanisms.

Bespoke tools, resources, and expertise

Bespoke tools, training, and resources support our consultants in embedding social value into your supply chain and procurement processes. We can also work flexibly with your preferred social value tools and systems to ensure the optimum social value outcomes for your projects.

To provide you with the most up-to-date and accurate advice, we closely monitor for UK government changes in social value policy, practice and methodologies. This includes the evolution of the Social Value Model, which, via Procurement Policy Note 002, introduces more explicit evaluation criteria, such as the Model Award Criteria (MAC) and structured reporting metrics to ensure transparency and accountability in procurement decisions.
