MISSION
SOCIAL VALUE
Who Cares Wins
In today’s procurement landscape, the UK government — specifically the Ministry of Defence (MOD) — has made social value a key part of the contracting process.
Since the introduction of Procurement Policy Note 06/20, social value is no longer just a consideration, but a mandatory requirement with a minimum 10% weighting in contract evaluations.
The MOD, the largest procurement body in Europe, is set to spend over £190bn on equipment and support over the next decade. As this focus on social value grows, businesses bidding for MOD contracts must not only provide the right products or services but also demonstrate clear social, economic, and environmental benefits.
This is where Mission Social Value comes in. We specialise in connecting defence manufacturers with charities to create impactful social value projects. By partnering with us, you can ensure that your MOD bids stand out by fulfilling the social value criteria in ways that make a real difference.

How We Help:
Identify Resources for Social Value:
We work closely with your team to understand your social value goals, identifying the resources, skills, and opportunities required to achieve them.
Leverage Local Charity Networks:
We tap into our extensive network of local charities—especially those supporting military veterans, local communities, and disadvantaged groups. By connecting your business with the right causes, we ensure that your contributions are relevant, impactful, and aligned with the MOD’s social value criteria.
Facilitate Volunteering and In-Kind Support:
We don’t just talk about social value; we help you deliver it. Through volunteering opportunities, donations, and in-kind support, we create tangible ways for your business to contribute. Whether it’s providing skills development to veterans or supporting local community projects, we ensure your efforts are meaningful and impactful.
Achieve Long-Term Partnerships:
Social value is not a one-off effort—it’s about creating lasting relationships with the community. We help establish long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships between your business and local charities, ensuring that your contribution continues to benefit society long after the contract is awarded.
Impact Reporting:
We provide comprehensive Social Impact Reporting, capturing your contributions and ensuring that they are documented, measurable, and aligned with the MOD’s requirements. This not only enhances your reputation but also strengthens your future bids for government contracts.
Why Choose Us?
Tailored Solutions:
We take the time to understand your specific business objectives and the unique needs of your MOD contract. Then, we design social value strategies that align with both your goals and the wider needs of the community.
Proven Success:
Our track record of delivering successful social value projects speaks for itself. We have helped numerous clients, including large defence manufacturers, meet their social value commitments and win government contracts.
Maximise Your Impact:
Social value is a mandatory part of your MOD bids, but it can also be a powerful tool for brand differentiation. By engaging in meaningful charitable activities, your business can not only improve the chances of securing contracts but also enhance its reputation, recruitment, and retention strategies.
In an increasingly competitive procurement environment, businesses that are unprepared to address social value risk losing out on critical contracts. By partnering with Mission Social Value, you will not only meet the MOD’s social value requirements but also contribute to building stronger, more resilient communities.
Let us help you turn social value into a competitive advantage — one that creates positive change for both your business and society at large.
