Turning commitments into measurable community impact
Solve Social Value supports organisations that need to plan, deliver and measure meaningful social value.
We provide affordable, practical solutions that support your teams every step of the way. Our consultants make planning and delivery easier, helping you meet social value and Section 106 objectives, achieve procurement targets and deliver outcomes that genuinely benefit communities.
Specialising in the housing, construction and public sector we help contractors, consultants, contracting authorities and the wider supply chain create and measure impactful social value – whether at project level or as part of a wider corporate strategy.
We provide a holistic approach, leading collaboration with project stakeholders, developing strategies, timelines and action plans for localised social value delivery. We support you to collect evidence and lived experiences to ensure your contractual requirements are met and we produce case studies at project level.
Our Services
We tailor our support to your organisation, offering flexible consultancy and monitoring solutions using our unique software – the Solve Platfom.
Bid support & social value plan development
From the outset, we help teams craft realistic, achievable social value responses aligned with your organisation’s capabilities and responding to the contracting authorities objectives. Pledges are smoothly integrated into the delivery phase, fostering collective buy-in and commitment.
Social value delivery consultancy
When you don’t want or need a full time social value manager. Acting as your outsourced social value manager, we support your teams to plan, deliver and measure social impact. After on-boarding your project to the Solve Platform we will help you meet your commitments. We work with stakeholders so the site teams can get on with building, producing comprehensive progess reports and look aheads to assure clients of your progress.
Corporate social value strategy & measurement
Using our inbuilt proxy value calculator, we help you capture and consolidate social value data across all your projects — even when different systems are in use. We review both current and historical information, supporting your teams to develop a forward-looking strategy and framework for consistent, business-aligned social value delivery.
Training, presenting & culture change
We believe social value is an investment in your business not a cost burden. We provide training and culture change support to deepen your team’s understanding of social value and help them become inspiring in-house champions. We are also available for speaking opportunities and presenting to teams on social value best practice.
Section 106 support
Solve manages the interface between local authorities, contracting authorities and site teams, ensuring smooth delivery of employment and skills plans, local labour and local spend commitments. We negotiate realistic, project-appropriate targets on your behalf and oversee their delivery, providing timely evidence ahead of practical completion. We also handle all required reporting to local authorities, saving you time and ensuring accurate, validated submissions without delays.
Embedding Social Value at Planning Stage
We work with contracting authorities and developers helping guide the early creation of social value plans through interactive consultation with communities. This early adoption can mean more successful planning applications and a higher chance of meaningful impact at delivery stage.

Our Solve Platform makes managing social value simple and powerful. From scheduling activities and assigning tasks to capturing evidence and collecting data, it streamlines every step of delivery.
Instantly see how a project is performing against its goals, track progress across all projects, and measure the social value delivered in any reporting period — all in one place.
