We help businesses deliver meaningful social value in the most effective and impactful way.
Embedding social value into business operations is not just a legal obligation in the UK – it’s a social imperative.
Social Value Services
We work with you to integrate social value across your practices and supply chain, going beyond compliance to create genuine, measurable impact that benefits the communities and environments where you operate.
Delivering social value isn’t easy – it requires time, expertise, strong networks, and resources. That’s where Cyd comes in. We simplify the process, reduce the burden, and help you deliver lasting impact without reinventing the wheel for every project.
Achieve more with Social Value, today.
Creating meaningful social impact begins with understanding the communities you serve...
By exploring local context – demographics, deprivation levels, existing resources, and partnership opportunities – you can direct your social value budget where it matters most. This ensures every pound delivers lasting, measurable change.
Embedding social value in procurement
UK procurement rules now require social value to make up at least 10% of the evaluation in central government tenders presenting opportunity from requirement for contracting authorities, and bidders.
At Cyd, we help organisations bring social value to the heart of their procurement approach. Whether it’s shaping clear social value plans, understanding what really matters to communities, or evaluating offers in line with the latest legislation…
For those bidding on contracts, we provide hands-on support to develop social value proposals that are not only competitive, but meaningful and achievable.
Delivering the most impactful social value plan
At Cyd, we help businesses build the networks they need to deliver truly effective social value plans. From planning to implementation, we support the development of impactful, measurable programmes, making it easy to track progress and clearly demonstrate the value being created.
Measuring Your Impact
Understanding the true impact of your social value plan can be complex – but it’s essential. At Cyd, we help you go beyond simply tracking inputs to genuinely measuring the difference you’re making.
Using the impact pathway model, we guide you through identifying outcomes and capturing meaningful results. We use impact reporting’s software to allow you to monitor project deliverables in real time, store evidence, and create a live, shareable view of progress for stakeholders.
We combine proxy values with both qualitative and quantitative metrics to give you a full picture of your impact – helping you clearly demonstrate the value you’re delivering
Verifying and Reporting Your Impact
At Cyd, we offer social value audit services to independently verify the impact delivered through your social value plans. Our audits provide third-party assurance, giving you confidence in your reporting without the need to sift through mountains of data.
We deliver a clear, concise summary report outlining what’s been achieved, highlighting key case studies you can share with stakeholders, and offering practical recommendations to strengthen future delivery and maximise impact.
Reports can be aligned with local and international frameworks, including TOMs (Themes, Outcomes, and Measures), the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Welsh Well-being of Future Generations Act, ensuring your social value reporting meets the standards that matter most to your organisation and stakeholders.

What is social value
Social value simply means that we place people, communities and our planet first in all that we do.
It means we are bound to make a positive difference through our collective business activities.
