Goodsted

Our mission is to mobilise more people and resources to build stronger communities. We provide a private, configurable platform that enables organisations to engage stakeholders and report on outcomes with ease. While Goodsted is sector-agnostic and works with clients across industries, our current focus is on the UK built environment, where we see the greatest opportunity to drive measurable social value and strengthen communities. With the new Procurement Act, the narrative is shifting. Social value is no longer a ‘nice to have’ – suppliers must demonstrate clear, measurable contributions to community outcomes. Goodsted is a delivery workspace for social value. We make it simple for housing associations, local authorities, and their suppliers to: 1. Make community needs visible – highlight where support is needed most. Enable engagement – make it easy for staff and suppliers to participate. Track contributions in real time – capture engagement, resources, and evidence. Report on outcomes – measure delivery against commitments and demonstrate impact. The platform can also: • Increase participation in staff volunteering programmes. • Create more connected employee networks around EDI and other priorities. • Engage external volunteers and partners to widen impact. Our clients typically focus on progressing outcomes such as: • Improving health and wellbeing. • Reducing inequalities. • Supporting local employment and skills development. • Strengthening community cohesion. • Protecting the environment and tackling climate change. We are co-developing Goodsted with our early clients. If you’d like to join this early client community and help shape the future of social value delivery, we’d love to hear from you. If you’d like to explore how Goodsted can support your programmes, we’d be delighted to learn about your challenges and see if there’s a fit.
