In 2017, SCAPE became a founding member of the National Social Value Taskforce, partnering with Social Value Portal to help establish a consistent, measurable approach to integrating the Social Value Act across the construction industry. Together, we supported the development and adoption of the Social Value TOM System™, a nationally recognised framework of economic, social and environmental measures that underpins performance across our projects.
By integrating the TOM System directly into SCAPE’s procurement and framework management processes, social value becomes “business as usual” for our framework delivery partners. Organisations appointed to SCAPE frameworks are those that demonstrate meaningful, measurable commitment to communities, from local employment and SME engagement to carbon reduction and skills development.
All outcomes are independently measured and rigorously reported, providing transparent evidence of impact and enabling continuous improvement. This collaborative approach has resulted in greater innovation and impact across our delivery partner network, driving improved standards throughout many of their operations beyond SCAPE projects, raising the standards across industry.
Through our partnership with Social Value Portal, we continue to benchmark, evolve and lead, ensuring that every built environment project delivers lasting economic, environmental and community benefit.
