Question 3 of 8 Social Value (20% weighting)

Describe your approach to delivering Social Value for this contract (500 words max)

AI-Generated Draft
478/500 words

Our approach to Social Value centres on three pillars directly benefiting the NHS Trust Region:

1. LOCAL EMPLOYMENT & SKILLS

We commit to hiring 2 apprentices from the local area within 6 months of contract start, providing Level 3 IT Support qualifications. Our partnership with Leeds City College ensures a pipeline of local talent, with 85% of our current workforce living within 15 miles of delivery sites.

2. ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Our carbon reduction plan targets net-zero operations by 2028. For this contract, we will implement remote-first support (reducing travel emissions by 60%), use refurbished equipment where appropriate, and provide quarterly carbon reporting aligned with NHS Net Zero targets.

3. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

We will deliver 40 hours of free digital skills training to local community groups annually, focusing on digital inclusion for elderly residents. Our "Tech for Good" programme has already supported 200+ individuals in the North West...

Bid Quality Score: 8.2/10
Based on evaluation criteria alignment

Generate evaluation-ready bid responses in seconds. AI drafts follow the exact frameworks that give professional bid writers 70%+ win rates.

The problem isn't your capability.
It's your documentation.

Government evaluators can only score what is explicitly written. They cannot infer capability or read between lines. This creates a massive gap between what you can do and what they see.

31%

Zero wins in 3 years

Nearly a third of SMEs haven't won a single tender in three years of bidding. Not because they can't deliver. Because they can't write bids that score.

0-5

Score 2 vs Score 5

Evaluators use a 0-5 scale. Most SME bids score "Acceptable" (2-3). The jump to "Excellent" (5) requires specificity, evidence, and buyer tailoring.

48%

Proposals fail on quality

Nearly half of procurement professionals say suppliers let themselves down with poor proposals. The gap is in how responses are written, not technical capability.
