Social Value in Our Supply Chain

At Inspire North, we believe that social value is created not only through what we deliver directly, but also through the organisations we work with.

Our supply chain plays a vital role in helping us create stronger communities, support vulnerable people, and contribute to local economic, social, and environmental wellbeing.

This page outlines our expectations, how we measure social value across our supply chain, and how you can share the positive impact your organisation creates.

We ask all suppliers and partners to:

• Demonstrate a commitment to ethical, sustainable and socially responsible practice.
• Contribute to positive outcomes for people, communities, and the environment.
• Support Inspire North to meet our Social Value Quality Mark Gold commitments.
• Share simple, periodic feedback that helps us understand your contribution to social value.

This isn’t about creating extra work, it’s a practical way for us to recognise, celebrate, and continually improve the social value we generate together. You can find out more by downloading the Inspire North Supply Chain Social Value Guide.

This guide explains what social value looks like in practice and how your organisation can contribute meaningfully while working with Inspire North and within your own organisation.

Tell Us About Your Social Value Contribution

We have two short surveys, one for Suppliers, and one for Delivery Partners. Each takes around 5 minutes to complete and helps us track impact, learn what’s working, and identify opportunities for improvement.

Supplier Social Value Survey - For organisations that provide goods or services to Inspire North.

Partner Social Value Survey - For organisations working with us collaboratively to deliver services or outcomes.
