Deliver Compliant Social Value On Every Public Sector Technology Bid
Standard social value metrics don’t fit how a technology business actually delivers. Thrive’s metrics are built to capture what you do, digital skills, apprenticeships, SME and VCSE spend, and report it against PPN 002 in a form your public sector clients recognise.

Social Value Counts On All Public Sector Tech Bids
Standard social value metrics don't fit with tech
Social value sits on an already full ESG and CSR plate
Every bid has to clear the same procurement bar
Why Thrive
Social Value Evidence That Holds Up
The Impact Evaluation Standard maps directly to the Social Value Model and PPN 002, with the flexibility to align to the global standards and frameworks you already report against, including the UN SDGs.
Every figure is validated by more than 1,000 rules as it’s entered and traces back to ONS sources. That validation makes your data structurally sound and traceable, so the numbers in your bid are already evidenced whenever a client asks how you reached them.
Because the metrics are built to capture what a technology business actually delivers, digital skills, apprenticeships, SME and VCSE spend, the social value you already create is measured properly.
Who we help
Built For Technology And IT Providers That Hold Public Sector Contracts Directly
Thrive is built for IT services, software, managed services, digital transformation and telecoms businesses that bid for and deliver public sector contracts across the UK and Ireland. At most of these businesses, social value sits with an ESG, CSR or sustainability lead carrying it alongside a wider remit across a dispersed and remote workforce.
What you need is a way to turn social value into a reliable, defensible part of every bid, captured as the work happens and reported in the framework your public sector buyers score against, without it consuming your team every quarter.
Thrive does that today for more than 200 UK organisations, including technology and IT providers. The Impact Evaluation Standard is built into the platform and used across central government departments, giving you an approach your public sector clients already recognise.
Outcomes you can expect
Stronger Bids, Defensible Evidence, Less Time Chasing Data
Higher social value scores on the bids that matter
Because every figure can be captured against the Social Value Model and validated as it is entered, your social value submission is complete and defensible before the deadline, which is where close public sector technology bids can be decided.
Every number traced back to its source
Each number traces back to ONS sources through one independently governed methodology. When a client questions a figure mid-contract, the answer is already there, protecting both the contract and your record on the next bid.
The full picture without the fuss
Suppliers report in by email at no cost, and your dispersed teams log value as the work happens. The supply chain share of your social value reaches the report automatically, and teams no longer have to build it from scratch every quarter.
