The industry leading solution

you can count on.

The Social Value TOM System™ of  Themes, Outcomes, Measures is the most widely adopted and trusted measurement standard for recording and reporting Social Value.  

Developed by Social Value Portal in collaboration with 40 organisations across the public, private, and third sector, it provides a robust and standardised approach to measuring positive impact. 

The system is structured around four key Themes:  

• Work: Providing opportunities 
• Economy: Driving inclusive growth 
• Community: Empowering communities 
• Planet: Environmental stewardship 

 Within each Theme are specific Outcomes that describe the targeted change or benefit an organisation wants to create through its activities and initiatives. The Measures then represent the quantifiable actions it takes. 

The Workspace has functionalities to serve all needs. You can set targets within your own organisation or across your supply chain, submit bids, manage procurements and contracts and calculate values automatically.

Users have a range of ways to view and slice their data. There are configurable dashboards, a Social Value calculator, various reporting tools and even geo-mapping.

The Workspace also generates a variety of reports, including annual benchmarking, corporate impact reports, and mapping against the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

Where Social Value Portal manages the evaluation process on behalf of a public sector buyer, the successful bidder becomes contracted directly with Social Value Portal. The data and evidence added to the platform throughout the lifetime of the contract is validated by Social Value Portal to ensure the requirements of the procuring authority are met.

Suppliers are also able to access quarterly reporting on projects, showing progress against targets and helping to manage Social Value delivery. At the end of the contract, suppliers receive an end of project summary report, and a case study. The fee also reflects the time and resource required to develop and continually refine the Social Value TOM System™ and its proxy values, which enable standardised third-party validation.
