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.

Social Return On Investment (SROI)

SROI puts a financial value on the impact you’ve created, helping you show value for money, attract funding, and meet Social Value tender requirements.

We work with recognised frameworks including:

The National TOMs (Themes, Outcomes, Measures) widely used across the UK to calculate and benchmark Social Value impact
Bespoke SROI models tailored to your organisation or project
Social Value Calculators aligned with procurement requirements
