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

#### Download the benchmarks and see how your authority compares.
