Armed with our proprietary DICM Engine our strategic objective is to scale our support for social value within UK public procurement from £2.1 billion in contracted spending to over £10 billion.

This expansion is not just an aspirational target, it is a structurally supported business objective. The regulatory landscape of UK public procurement underwent a tectonic shift following the enactment of the Procurement Act 2023 and the deployment of the new Social Value Model (PPN 002).
