OUR SOCIAL VALUE STRATEGY

Social value is the foundation stone of Efficiency North’s vision, values and mission as a responsible business.

IMPACT PORTAL

EN:Procure works in partnership with Impact Social Value Reporting Ltd to develop our social value and sustainable initiatives across our Gen-4 Frameworks at all stages of contractor engagement, focusing on three areas:

TENDER PROCESS

Bidding contractors submit their ESG bids directly to the portal where we can evaluate and score them, with successful bids converting into ‘Live Projects’ upon award ready for contractors to achieve the targets they have set.

DATA CAPTURE

Contractors submit quarterly progress updates through the portal with accompanying evidence for review, allowing early intervention of any non-conformance.

ANALYSIS & REPORTING

The portal provides an easy, all-in-one space to store and retrieve data which can be used for analysis and reporting.

ESG UNITS

Our frameworks include dynamic models for ESG delivery. Contractors are required to deliver one ESG unit per £50,000 contract spend to provide a wide range of social, economic and environmental benefits for communities served by Efficiency North’s membership of social housing providers. Social value outcomes are measured through the National TOMS system.

ESG UNITS INCLUDE:

FLEXI-JOB APPRENTICESHIPS
