Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency procured a digital social value measurement and reporting platform as a services requirement for use across UK commercial agreements. The platform supports the FY 2025-26 Social Value Pilot by enabling structured collection, measurement and analysis of social value data. It is intended to capture both quantitative and qualitative outcomes reported by suppliers at framework and call-off levels, helping the buyer monitor and assess delivery across its agreements. This is a business software and data service requirement, rather than an operating-system supply contract despite the classification code used. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom and is relevant to providers of social value, ESG, impact measurement, procurement data, reporting and associated digital platform services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 18 July 2025 to THRIVE CSR LIMITED. The award value is £123,000, inclusive of the stated GBP currency, with the awarded contract period running from 8 August 2025 to 7 August 2026. The requirement was a selective services procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 8 July 2025 at 5pm. The tender record also describes a contract period from 8 August 2025 to 7 August 2027, so the published records contain differing end dates; the award record gives the one-year period. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process.

This award demonstrates demand from the Government Commercial Agency for a specialist platform that turns supplier-reported social value activity into structured, analysable evidence across both framework and call-off arrangements. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would combine a working digital platform with practical expertise in social value measurement, ESG or impact reporting, data collection and analysis. Credibility would depend on handling quantitative and qualitative information consistently, supporting reporting across multiple commercial agreements, and making results usable by public-sector commercial teams and suppliers. Experience with framework environments, call-off procurement and supplier-facing reporting would be relevant. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that a focused specialist provider can compete where it can demonstrate a proportionate platform, sound data practices and the capability to support a government-wide pilot.
