Thrive\u2019s enhanced Impact Evaluation Standard ensures suppliers stay compliant with both the new PPN 002 Social Value Model and legacy PPN 06\/20 rules.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of UK government suppliers risk falling foul of new procurement rules from last week \u2014 unless they can comply with both the old and new social value models.<\/p>\n\n\n

From last week, Procurement Policy Note 002 (PPN 002) becomes the mandatory standard for all new central government tenders \u2014 replacing previous rules and requiring a new approach to designing and assessing social value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While thousands of existing contracts will continue under PPN 06\/20, suppliers must now manage and report against two sets of requirements simultaneously \u2014 creating a compliance challenge across the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thrive has now launched the only measurement framework and platform designed to meet this challenge from day one. Its enhanced Impact Evaluation Standard (IES) fully incorporates the requirements of both PPN 002 and PPN 06\/20, enabling contractors and bid teams to switch seamlessly between models at the touch of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob Wolfe, Managing Director, Chy Consultancy and Impact Evaluation Standard Steering Committee Member, explained: \u201cPPN 002 sets a higher bar for social value in procurement. Suppliers will need measurement frameworks that not only incorporate the rules but drive better behaviour and make compliance practical. Thrive\u2019s Impact Evaluation Standard is the first solution we\u2019ve seen that addresses both the old and new requirements from day one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Impact Evaluation Standard is widely regarded as the UK\u2019s most credible and independent reporting standard for measuring social value because it is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Developed by an independent committee of experts, including one of the co-authors of HM Treasury\u2019s Green Book and the Social Value Model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Built from the ground up to incorporate government procurement rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Underpinned by the latest Office for National Statistics and government data sources, going well beyond the other frameworks which rely more heavily on the Unit Cost Database figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Allows custom-built metrics to be combined with bespoke corporate reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks the first time a UK measurement framework has been fully refreshed to incorporate both legacy and new government procurement rules. With annual public procurement expenditure in excess of \u00a3300billion, Thrive now offers suppliers and contractors a future-proof solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This October release introduces:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 36 new metrics directly developed from PPN 002 requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 A new framework structure aligned to the government Missions for clarity and usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Platform enhancements allowing Thrives thousands of users to switch between PPN 002, PPN 06\/20 and many other frameworks, instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neil Macdonald, CEO of Thrive, said: \u201cFrom last week, suppliers must manage both PPN 002 and legacy PPN 06\/20 contracts. Without the right measurement framework, that dual reporting burden risks delays or even lost bids. The updated Impact Evaluation Standard gives them a clear, compliant way to meet both requirements.\u201d For more information, visit Thrive<\/p>\n\n\n\n
