Social value strategy
Digital innovation with purpose – People, planet & progress
At Storm ID, we believe businesses have a responsibility to create positive, lasting change. We use our people, digital expertise and partnerships to support sustainable growth, strengthen communities and reduce our environmental impact.
Our approach
Social value is embedded in how we work. From the digital services we deliver to how we support our people, choose our suppliers and contribute to the communities around us.
Our strategy focuses on four areas:
Economic growth and innovation
Skills, learning and employment
Community engagement and inclusion
Environmental responsibility
Our strategy is broader than any single procurement framework. For each contract, we translate these priorities into relevant, proportionate and measurable commitments that reflect the subject matter of the contract, local needs and the outcomes our clients want to achieve.
Responding to a changing social value landscape
Our approach reflects the Social Value Model introduced through PPN 002 for in-scope central government procurements, as well as Scotland’s National Performance Framework and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We are also preparing for PPN 026, which will apply to relevant procurements commencing from 1 January 2027. The new model places a sharper focus on creating good British jobs, addressing skills needs and widening access to opportunities within local communities. It also raises expectations around evaluation, measurement and the active management of social value commitments throughout contract delivery.
As the policy landscape evolves, our aim remains consistent: to make credible commitments, deliver them effectively and report transparently on the difference they make.
£1.4 million of social value in FY25/26
During FY25/26, our work contributed £1.4 million in social value for our people, clients and communities.
Our latest Social Value Report explains how that value was created, bringing together the commitments we made, the outcomes we delivered and what we learned. It also sets out how we plan to build on this impact in the year ahead.
