## Summary

The procurement process managed by National Highways Limited, a central government public authority based in Birmingham, involves the "ITEP1118 - Social Value Reporting Tool" contract. This contract falls under the industry category of IT software packages and centres around an initiative to develop a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform aimed at measuring social value and sustainability across multiple projects. The contract was awarded on 13th March 2026 to Action Sustainability (Trading) Ltd, with the active period commencing on 15th March 2026 and concluding on 14th March 2028. This procurement was conducted through a direct method, below the threshold, without competition. The total contract value is £58,545, with potential extensions extending up to 2030, if opt-in renewals are exercised.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for large businesses specialising in IT software development, particularly those focused on creating platforms to aid in public infrastructure projects. Given its emphasis on a robust social value reporting tool tailored to National Highways' operations, companies with expertise in creating SaaS solutions that facilitate data collection, management, and reporting could find this project highly beneficial to their growth. Such a venture encourages innovation in tracking and managing sustainability performance, presenting further business development potential in government IT projects aligned with social value metrics.

## Notice

National Highways has to comply with PPN 06/20 Social Value and has a requirement to report on how it measures social value. In order to do this, it has a requirement to develop a group wide approach to how it undertakes this activity. There is a need to measure consistently across any project or scheme and the use of a tool that can be directly inputted by the supply chain will remove a significant duplication of effort. The tool has 29 metrics that can be measured; all of which are consistent with the work National Highways undertakes in the infrastructure sector. The solution is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform configured for National Highways to collect, manage, analyse and report social value and sustainability performance data across relevant programmes, projects, delivery partners and supply chain participants.
