Social value isn't a nice-to-have. It's scored.

Central government tenders already give social value a minimum 10% weighting under the Social Value Model. From January 2027, PPN 026 raises that to at least 20% on contracts over £5m, with the focus on good jobs and skills. And the wider policy direction matches: the government is putting technical and vocational education on equal footing with academic routes, from age 14. Sponsored hands-on STEM in the contract's communities is exactly the kind of committed, reportable activity evaluators ask for.

Skills

The model asks for activity that addresses skills shortages, especially for people facing barriers. That's our whole job, from KS2 to adult learning.

Breaking down barriers

No-experience-assumed sessions in the communities your contract touches: schools, libraries, community groups and 18 to 24 year olds.

Good jobs & growth

Technical skills are the national priority: vocational learning from age 14, with parity alongside academic routes. Sponsoring it puts your name on the direction of travel.

We shape each sponsorship around the commitments in your bid, then report against them: learner numbers, photos and a delivery summary. Not bidding on anything? Foundations, trusts and philanthropists sponsor the same programmes for the impact alone.

How it works

Three steps to sponsored STEM

1

Pick your communities

Schools, libraries or community groups, in the places that matter to you.

2

We deliver, together

Co-branded sessions run by our team, with an optional slot for you: a talk, a case study, judging the builds.

3

You get the story

Photos, numbers and outcomes, ready for your social value reporting.

After a team day instead? Invention Lab and other programmes lives on our Workshops page.
