Social Value Portal

What Social Value Portal does

Social Value Portal is a UK-based cloud SaaS company that provides a platform for measuring, managing, and reporting social value impact. Its core intellectual property is the TOM System (Themes, Outcomes, Measures), a trademarked management standard for quantifying social value using monetary proxies, which is marketed as the world's leading framework of its kind. The Workspace platform sits on top of the TOM System, hosted on Salesforce cloud infrastructure with ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certifications, and supports contract management, project reporting, and social value submission across member organizations.

The company serves three primary customer segments: public sector procurement bodies (local authorities, NHS trusts, government departments), suppliers and bidders competing for public sector contracts, and private sector corporations seeking to measure and report ESG/social impact. The platform is used by 200+ public and private sector organizations, supports over 16,000 users, and has tracked over £17bn of social value to date, with a stated target of £100bn by 2026.

The business model combines annual membership subscriptions (12-month minimum terms, RPI+3.5% annual escalators), transaction-based fees on winning bidders (percentage of contract value), and consultancy services billed hourly or at fixed fees. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales with specialist-led 30-minute discovery sessions, supplemented by an annual Social Value Conference, regular webinars, and free educational toolkits. International expansion is underway via the Global TOM System, with country-specific variants for Wales, Ireland, and Australia, and a global partnership with ISS covering Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway with global rollout from 2026.

Broad incumbents

• EcoVadis: Global ESG ratings platform widely used by procurement teams to assess supplier sustainability, overlapping with SVP's supplier-side assessment use case but operating at much broader scope and scale.
• Sphera: Enterprise ESG, EHS, and sustainability software serving large global corporates; comparable as an incumbent offering broader environmental and social measurement and reporting capabilities than SVP's niche.
• Workiva: Enterprise platform for ESG, sustainability, and regulatory reporting used by large corporates, adjacent to SVP's reporting functionality but serving a much wider disclosure and audit workflow.
• Salesforce Net Zero Cloud: Salesforce's sustainability and ESG product sits on the same infrastructure that SVP runs on; as a hyperscaler with built-in CRM and reporting, it represents an adjacent incumbent that could bundle comparable measurement functionality.

Direct peers

• Impakt: Climate and social impact SaaS for businesses and financial institutions to measure, manage, and report non-financial performance, comparable as a mid-market impact measurement platform.
• FigBytes: Sustainability and ESG management software that helps organizations centralize social, environmental, and governance data, serving a similar enterprise buyer seeking integrated impact measurement.
• Brightest (formerly Brightest): ESG and impact measurement SaaS platform used by enterprises to track and report social and environmental performance, overlapping with Social Value Portal's measurement and reporting workflows.
• SustainIQ: UK-based SaaS focused on social value and ESG measurement for construction and procurement, directly competing with Social Value Portal in the same tender-driven buyer/supplier workflows.

Others

• GRESB: Global ESG benchmark for real estate and infrastructure that has accepted SVP's RESVI as its first social certification; a partner rather than direct competitor, but adjacent in the real estate ESG data ecosystem.
• Social Value International: Global membership body that promotes SROI methodology and the social value movement; while not a SaaS competitor, it shapes the standards and ecosystem in which SVP operates and competes for influence.
