Meeting Social Value requirements under the Procurement Act 2023


Prove your social impact. Deliver measurable outcomes. Stay compliant.

The Procurement Act 2023 places a clear responsibility on public sector contractors to deliver and demonstrate social value. This is no longer just a “nice-to-have” — it’s a core part of how tenders are evaluated and contracts are awarded.

At Social Operating Systems (SOS), we help organisations meet and exceed these requirements with data-backed, measurable social value reporting.

What does the Procurement Act 2023 require?

Public sector suppliers must:

  • Show clear and measurable social value outcomes in their proposals.

  • Align with the specific social priorities set by contracting authorities.

  • Deliver continuous reporting and evidence of their social value contributions throughout the contract lifecycle.
