Procuring with Purpose: Transforming Communities, Delivering Visible Impact

Doing the right thing isn’t just good ethics—it’s great for business.

When we talk about ‘Procuring with Purpose’, we don’t just mean meeting goals; we strive to go above and beyond by creating meaningful change in local communities and achieving extraordinary outcomes. It’s where ‘social value you can see’ happens.

As partners united by a shared commitment to social responsibility, we collaborate with our members to deliver projects that excel in performance, hit targets, and leave a lasting positive and visible impact on the people and places that matter most.

With decades of expertise and a forward-thinking perspective on social value and public procurement, we empower our members to tackle pressing community challenges such as unemployment and skills shortages. Our outcome-driven approach ensures that every solution is thoughtfully integrated into your project, from initial concept to final delivery.

By focusing on precision and technical excellence, we seamlessly weave social value, measurable impact, and lasting change into every thread of public sector procurement, transforming the fabric of the built environment for generations to come.

Achieving social impact through the planning system

Using our end-to-end service, we’ll embed social value in every phase of the development lifecycle, creating a social value strategy which actively addresses the needs of local communities.
