Bidding for, or already delivering, work connected to the Wylfa programme? You’ll be asked to show your social value — local employment, skills and community benefit. Owl Impact turns the work you already do into the evidence, costed in pounds.
Nuclear new-build is public-money infrastructure with explicit social value commitments attached. Those commitments don’t stay at the top of the supply chain — they flow down through it. When packages are awarded, the firms that can show, in pounds, with records, what they already contribute to their community will have an edge over firms with the same trade skills and nothing on paper.
And the timing matters: Wales’ socially responsible procurement duties are now in force, so Welsh public bodies are measuring and reporting social value as a legal duty. The whole environment around Wylfa will be evidence-hungry.
We’re not affiliated with the Wylfa programme or its contractors — Owl Impact is an independent tool for the firms in and around the supply chain.
Log a school visit, apprenticeship or community activity — get a dated, costed report in pounds, ready for bids and framework returns.
Capture the change you make — confidence, skills, awareness — the distance travelled, not just that an activity happened.
Start logging now and you’ll hold a costed, documented social value history by the time packages are tendered — while competitors reconstruct theirs from memory.
It’s free to try, two minutes a session. Read the background in our blog post on what Wylfa means for North Wales contractors, or see how social value works for construction and contractors.
