Social Value Delivery
Turn Plans Into Action
Many organisations find that turning their Social Value commitments into real action is harder than it looks. At Cyd Innovation, we help bridge that gap – providing the expertise, community partnerships, and hands-on support needed to deliver measurable Social Value that makes a real difference to people and places.
The Challenge
Not Enough Resource
Teams are already stretched delivering complex projects. Social Value delivery can easily fall down the priority list when there aren’t enough people or time allocated to it.
Lack of Partnership Network
Delivering high-impact Social Value often depends on having trusted relationships with community partnerships, schools, training providers, or charities. Without those networks in place, delivery can stall.
Poor Supply Chain Engagement
Social Value delivery isn’t just the responsibility of the main contractor. But if the supply chain isn’t involved from the start or doesn’t understand expectations then delivery becomes patchy and inconsistent.
Identifying the Right Initiatives
Not all Social Value is created equal. The best initiatives are locally relevant, community-driven, and aligned with what residents actually need but many organisations struggle to identify these opportunities.
Lack of Scrutiny & Accountability
Social Value is often seen as “the fluffy stuff”, an add-on to project delivery rather than a core requirement. Without clear ownership, scrutiny, and resource allocation, delivery risks being underwhelming or tokenistic.
Impact Pathway Mapping
We help you map your Impact Pathway, this ensures your Social Value reporting is transparent, consistent, and aligned with industry best practice. Read more on Impact Pathway Mapping and how Cyd Innovation measure Social Value.
