Bidding and pitching are deliberately challenging, designed to eliminate, not include, companies from a targeted short list of possible contract winners or investment prospects.
PeoplePlus actively create social value solutions and deliver those solutions in a range of contracts. Alignment between proposal and delivery mechanisms create social value, day to day, as we embed and extend our contracts across and into diverse communities across the UK. From our Employability, Prison Education, Social Recruitment, and Independent Living Support divisions to every individual we help - striving to compound the impact of changing one life at a time is the bedrock of our mission.
In this way, our business as usual activities make us leaders in the creation of social value. Between 2018 and 2022 alone, we made a difference to the lives of over 1 million people - achieved during some of the toughest years businesses have faced.
For both commercial and public service contracts, meeting criteria for a possible 20-30% social value weighting takes investment, planning and expertise.
Its why the bidding and social value solutions design expertise underpinning PeoplePlus projects is available to partners and clients as an element of our Social Value Services portfolio.
