One set of evidence.
Every level of reporting.
A single contract can contain several diverse social value obligations, from employment and skills to volunteering, community partnerships, local spending and environmental activity. whatimpact brings each obligation into one workspace, where teams can manage delivery partners, record activity, monitor progress and connect the correct evidence to each commitment.
When an organisation holds multiple contracts with individual social value obligations, whatimpact keeps every commitment clearly separated while consolidating performance across contracts, regions, business units and the whole organisation.
Companies gain operational control and management without relying on disconnected spreadsheets, while contract managers, commissioners, senior leaders and all stakeholders receive reporting at the level they need. This reduces administration, prevents commitments from being overlooked and provides confidence that every obligation is being delivered and evidenced.
Don't just report what you spent.
Prove what changed.
Social Impact Report
Delivery partners complete standardised Social Impact Reports, helping the company gather consistent evidence without reconstructing information from emails, spreadsheets and incompatible documents.
Each completed partnership builds a shared organisational record of VCSE and school relationships, commitments, activity and evidence across people, departments, regions and years. This preserves knowledge beyond individual inboxes and local spreadsheets, making proven partners and past outcomes easier to find and reuse.
whatimpact also offers an impact reporting tool for suppliers to self-report on employment & skills, environmental, and supply chain activities. These reports follow the same impact reporting structure as the partnership reports.
Internationally Valid Impact Verification
whatimpact offers the UK’s only standardised, semi-automated Social Impact Reporting tool designed to deliver an authentic, end-to-end view of social value creation.
Developed in collaboration with NCVO Evaluation Services (and complemented by an innovative integration with the UK Government - Social Value Model, Social Value Portal - TOM System™ / TOM System for Wales and others), the feature is built strictly around the internationally recognised Theory of Change and Social Impact Logic Model.
Moving far beyond simple output tallies or surface-level metrics, it captures rich, verifiable data straight from the ground, seamlessly combining robust quantitative evidence (inputs, outputs, and direct outcomes) with compelling qualitative depth, including real beneficiary testimonials, in-depth case studies, and local context.
It stands as the only solution in the nation that empowers companies, public sector suppliers, and grant-makers to evaluate real-world transformation with total transparency, audit-ready compliance, and complete stakeholder confidence.

The National Social Value Marketplace® provides access to over 300,000 VCSEs and 20,000 schools across the UK, helping organisations identify delivery partners that are genuinely relevant to the communities where their contracts operate. Data is geographically mapped and checked against authoritative sources, helping teams make more confident, evidence-based decisions about where and with whom social value is delivered.
whatimpact’s Social Impact Reports are completed directly by your VCSE partners delivering the social value, using a consistent structure covering inputs, outputs, outcomes and impact. Each report brings together supporting evidence, beneficiary insight and case studies, creating a clear record of what was delivered, who benefited and the difference it made.
It establishes who is approaching and partnering with VCSEs and schools. Your company profile supports trust and protects both organisations.
whatimpact checks VCSE data against authoritative sources (including the Charities Commission), helping you identify relevant organisations and understand their location, activities and profile. Commercial due diligence, safeguarding checks, suitability and project-specific risk assessment remain the customer’s responsibility, ensuring the final partnership decision reflects the requirements of each contract or activity.
No. Publishing a requirement creates options; the company decides whether and with whom to proceed.
National Social Marketplace® search, matching and bid-stage planning are free. Subscription begins when the customer needs to manage delivery and evidence.
