Social Value Software for PPN 002 and the Procurement Act

PPN 002 has changed how central government procurement measures and reports on social value. But thousands of existing contracts and frameworks remain governed by the original Social Value Model and PPN06/20.

Thrive is the only social value software which directly incorporates both Social Value Models, enabling you to switch between these, other frameworks, and custom metrics at the touch of a button

The October 2025 changes to UK central government procurement rules are the biggest update in years. But here’s the challenge:

New Rules

Mandatory from October 2025 for all new central government contracts.

Existing Commitments

contracts for several years.
