Social Value

Contributing to the communities we maintain

Social value is scored in almost every public sector tender. These are the commitments we make and measure on the contracts we deliver.

Our commitments

Twelve commitments we report against

Each area is tracked and can be reported to clients by contract, quarter or annual period.

Apprenticeships

We create apprenticeship placements on maintenance contracts, mentored by time-served trades, with a route into permanent employment.

Local employment

We recruit engineers and office staff from the boroughs we work in, keeping travel down and local wages in the area.

Supporting small suppliers

Materials are bought from independent local merchants and SME suppliers wherever price and availability allow.

Recycling waste

Strip-out waste is segregated for recycling, with metals, timber, plasterboard and packaging separated on site.

Reducing landfill

We track diversion-from-landfill rates by contract and report them alongside our KPI pack.

Fuel-efficient vehicles

Our fleet is being transitioned to low-emission and ULEZ-compliant vehicles, with routing planned to cut mileage.

Supporting vulnerable residents

Vulnerability flags are respected on every job: extra time, clear explanation, no-access welfare checks and safe working around residents.

DBS checked engineers

Every operative entering a home is DBS checked, uniformed and carries photo ID.

Safeguarding awareness

Operatives are trained to recognise and report safeguarding concerns through a defined escalation route.

Equality & Diversity

We operate an Equality & Diversity policy covering recruitment, contract delivery and resident interaction.

Prompt communication

Appointments confirmed, arrival windows shared and completion reported, so residents are never left waiting blind.

Community volunteering

We contribute labour and materials to community spaces, schools and residents' associations in the areas we serve.

Reporting

How we evidence social value

Baseline at mobilisation

We agree measurable targets with the client before works start, aligned to the TOMs framework where required.

Quarterly reporting

Apprenticeship hours, local spend, landfill diversion and volunteering hours reported each quarter.

Annual statement

A published Social Value Statement is available from our compliance centre for tender submissions.
