What We Offer

Samtaler provides hands‑on delivery support to ensure social value commitments are mobilised, delivered, evidenced and generate a measurable positive impact throughout the life of a contract.

The greatest risk to social value sits at mobilisation - where ambition can fail without the right structures, ownership and planning in place. We work alongside clients from mobilisation through to live delivery, ensuring commitments move seamlessly from strategy and bid response into effective, measurable delivery that stands up to scrutiny.

Our Delivery Services include:

End‑to‑end social value mobilisation and delivery support

Outsourced or embedded Social Value Managers

Coordination and delivery of contract commitments

Our Social Value Delivery Support Services:

Delivery Planning Workshop

Day long mobilisation workshop to help operational delivery teams understand how to integrate social value into overall contract delivery.

Structured, in person session covering:

  • Customer expectations - what the public sector customer is looking for.

  • How to convert current commitments into a detailed social value action plan with clear milestones, governance and reporting.

  • Outputs include a consolidated commitments list and a template contract-specific high-level delivery plan.

Recruitment

Support to permanently recruit dedicated, in‑house social value professionals who can confidently manage social value delivery across live contracts.

  • Writing and scoping technical elements of the job description

  • Targeted promotion of opportunity to our specialist social value network and in the geographical locations where contract is being delivered.

  • Screening and selection of candidates and Interview support.

  • Onboarding and training of new staff to help them hit the ground running

Delivery Planning & Mobilisation

3 - 6 months of expert support during the mobilisation phase to turn commitments into actionable plans to embed the right governance, processes and partnerships from day one. Our approach typically includes:

  • Mobilisation workshops both internally and with the Authority

  • Development of detailed Social Value Action Plans

  • Establishment of clear governance, roles and reporting, with tracking and escalation for accountability.

  • Engagement with the Authority to agree commitments, finalise the delivery plan and secure sign‑off.

  • Coordination with internal teams, supply chain and delivery partners to agree delivery for each commitment.

Embedded Social Value Managers

Embedded social value specialists who act as a single point of coordination for delivery, stakeholder engagement and reporting - ensuring commitments are actively progressed, not just monitored.

  • Dedicated external Social Value Specialist contractors embedded in your Operations team to ensure delivery of all commitments made.

  • We can support with short or long-term contracts and provide 0.25 to 1 FTE.

  • Specialists report internally to Head of Account or relevant staff members with ongoing external advisory support and quality assurance provided by Samtaler’s expert team.
