Benchmarking Social Value in public sector procurement

Written by Social Value Portal | Feb 20, 2026 11:20:26 AM

 Every public contract does more than deliver its core purpose. But how much additional value is your procurement spend actually generating - and how does that compare to your peers? 

Drawing on validated delivery data from 2020–2025, we've benchmarked Social Value performance across regions and supplier types to give procurement teams a data-grounded answer to a practical question: are we doing enough?

What you'll find inside:

  • National benchmarks for delivery rate and Social Value-Add
  • Regional performance breakdowns
  • Analysis by supplier size, from SMEs to major contractors
  • The top 10 Social Value Measures in public procurement
  • What higher-performing authorities do differently

10 pages. Benchmarks you can act on immediately.
