Measure the social value of your work with the UK's leading SVI-accredited SROI platform.
Trusted by 250+ public sector and VCSE organisations
Measuring outcomes
Use delivery records and SROI analysis to understand which commitments were met and what changed for the people involved.
Delivery records help funders and contractors report on commitments and KPIs, including jobs created, apprenticeships delivered and local spending.
That answers the question:
"Did the supplier do what they said they would?"
The Social Value Engine uses accredited SROI methodology to assess and value changes in people’s lives and communities, giving organisations evidence to inform investment decisions.
That answers a different question:
"Did we improve people's lives?"
What sets SVE apart
Independently assessed against the Principles of Social Value. Every analysis on the platform follows Social Value International methodology, so your results carry the credibility that funders and regulators recognise.
The Social Value Engine uses SROI to assess changes in people’s lives and communities, giving funders and delivery partners evidence to inform investment decisions.
Every outcome links to its proxy source, quantity and SROI adjustments. Commissioners, auditors and boards can check the calculations behind your reports.
"We always knew our programmes made a real difference. Now we can prove it in a language that resonates with senior decision-makers."
Who we help
How organisations measure social value depends on what they are trying to learn. The Social Value Engine helps each sector measure, report and maximise impact in the way that matters to them.
Co-ownership
The Social Value Engine was created by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Rose Regeneration, and is still co-owned by both. It was built by a council that commissions public services and a consultancy with over 30 years of SROI methodology.
That combination shaped the platform: where other tools report on procurement KPIs, the Social Value Engine reports on societal benefit, using accredited methodology and peer-reviewed financial proxy sources.
