Social value commitment planner

Social value answers lose marks when they read as corporate policy. List the commitments you intend to make for this contract and the planner grades each one on the six attributes UK evaluators look for. Nothing is stored — it all stays in your browser.

Commitment 1

Policy statement, not a commitment — 0/6

Still missing: a clear description of the measure; a number or target; a named owner; a stated delivery mechanism; a reporting method and frequency; a link to this contract or locality.

Your commitment set

0 / 6(0%)

1 commitment across 0 themes currently strong enough to carry an answer.

A small number of fully specified commitments normally scores better than a long list of intentions. Before you draft, make sure every commitment you keep is one the delivery team has agreed it can meet — in most UK contracts these become contractual KPIs.

Questions

What makes a social value commitment score well?

Four things: a number, a named owner, a delivery mechanism and a reporting method — all tied to this contract and its locality rather than corporate policy. Evaluators mark specificity and deliverability, not ambition.

Does this calculate TOMs values?

No. Proxy values under the National TOMs framework are licensed and change by version, so this tool deliberately does not invent monetary figures. It grades the quality and completeness of each commitment instead.

How much social value weighting should I expect?

It varies by buyer and contract. Read the weighting stated in your ITT and size the effort to it — never assume a figure from a previous tender.

Is my input saved?

No. Everything stays in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, so you can use live commitment data safely.
