Scored Metrics, Not Policy Statements
Social value is weighted 10–20% of total score on public sector contracts. Pro Energise treats social value as a scored metric tracked per-project — not a policy document filed and forgotten.
Every commitment on this page is specific, measurable, and auditable. Year 1 targets represent our deliverable floor — honest commitments that will be evidenced from first contract. Contracts OS captures all social value metrics at project level, feeding directly into framework KPI reporting and tender evidence packs.
Our social value targets are structured to align with the National TOMs (Themes, Outcomes, and Measures) framework. This enables procurement teams to map our commitments directly to standard evaluation criteria and aggregate our social value contribution alongside other supply chain partners.
These targets and tracking systems are operational and will be applied from our first public sector framework contract. As our portfolio grows, evidenced results will replace commitments on this page.
Local Labour Utilisation
Target: 20–30% local postcode labour utilisation on public contracts within a 25-mile radius of the project site. This is a realistic commitment given our 100-mile operating radius from Milton Keynes — engineers are deployed from the nearest available location. A 20–30% target is honest and deliverable, which scores higher in procurement evaluation than an inflated target that cannot be evidenced. Local labour will be tracked via engineer postcode mapping in our job management system and reported per contract.
How we deliver this
- Engineer postcode mapping against project site location
- 25-mile radius definition for "local" — aligned with standard procurement criteria
- Per-project local labour percentage calculated and reported
- Data feeds directly into framework KPI evidence packs
- Contracts OS generates auditable local labour reports on demand
- Year 1 target: 20–30% — increasing as regional workforce density grows
Apprenticeship Programme
Structured Level 3 electrical apprenticeship pathway with a 24-month programme duration. Each apprentice is assigned a designated internal mentor and enrolled with a formalised training partner. Progress is tracked and reportable for tender evidence. The scaling plan is tied to revenue growth — 1 apprentice per £1m non-EV revenue — ensuring commitments remain deliverable.
Scaling plan
- Year 1: 1–2 apprentices on structured Level 3 electrical pathway
- Year 2: 2–3 apprentices with formalised training partner
- Year 3: 3–4 apprentices, targeting 1 apprentice per £1m non-EV revenue
- Designated internal mentor assigned to each apprentice
- 24-month structured programme with quarterly progress reviews
- Apprentice hours tracked per-project for tender evidence
Community Engagement
Structured community engagement programme with defined targets and tracking. Focused on local school engagement — electrical safety awareness sessions and career pathway talks — alongside a defined charity or education partner. Volunteer hours are logged and reportable.
Annual commitments
- Year 1: Minimum 80 volunteer hours across the workforce
- Year 2: Minimum 120 volunteer hours
- Year 3: Minimum 160 volunteer hours
- Targeted local school engagement — electrical safety and career pathways
- Defined charity or education partner identified per operating region
- 1 structured community project per year (minimum)
- Volunteer tracking log maintained in Contracts OS
Local & SME Supply Chain
Public sector evaluators increasingly score bidders on how much economic benefit returns to the local area. Pro Energise targets 30–40% local and regional SME spend on public contracts within a 25-mile radius. This covers specialist and making good trades — local plastering and decoration subcontractors, regional electrical wholesalers, local skip hire and waste management, and regional plant and access equipment providers. Electrical wholesale spend will be routed through CEF branches local to the project site, tracked at branch level. Independent local wholesalers will be used where they exist, giving flexibility to report both approaches depending on evaluation criteria. As an SME contractor ourselves, we understand the importance of directing public sector spend to small and medium enterprises. Appointing Pro Energise directly contributes to contracting authority SME spend targets. This is not a policy statement — it is a scored metric.
Tracking and reporting
- Supplier postcodes and SME status logged against each purchase order
- Subcontract instructions tracked with supplier location data
- Per-project reports showing local spend percentage
- Number of local SMEs engaged per contract
- Total value directed to regional supply chain
- CEF branch-level spend tracking (not head office aggregation)
- Independent local wholesaler spend reported separately
- Contracts OS generates auditable supply chain reports on demand
Carbon Reduction Plan
Pro Energise is developing a Carbon Reduction Plan in compliance with PPN 06/21, to be published ahead of our first framework submissions. Our commitment to net zero includes LED fleet transition planning, route optimisation to reduce travel emissions, digital-first documentation reducing paper waste, and local supply chain sourcing minimising transport distances. The completed plan will be available on request and included in all framework submission evidence packs.

How We Track & Report
All social value commitments will be tracked in Contracts OS with per-project reporting capability. Data will feed directly into framework KPI reporting and social value evidence packs for tender submissions. Evaluators will be able to request per-project social value reports showing local labour percentages, apprentice hours, volunteer activity, and local SME spend — all linked to specific contracts and verifiable against delivery data. Social value delivery is managed at contract level by the assigned contract manager, with quarterly oversight from senior management. Target adherence is reviewed at each monthly valuation and reported to the client as part of standard progress reporting.
- Per-project social value dashboard in Contracts OS
- Automated data capture from job records and purchase orders
- Framework KPI evidence packs generated on demand
- Tender submission evidence linked to verified delivery data
- Quarterly social value summary reports for framework clients
Commitments Built to Evidence
Every target on this page will be tracked at project level through Contracts OS. When procurement teams evaluate our social value submission, the evidence is already being captured. These are Year 1 floor targets designed to grow with our public sector portfolio — starting honest, scaling with delivery.
All social value commitments are made by Pro EV Group Ltd (Company No. 12545575), trading as Pro Energise, and will be contractually binding on awarded projects.
