The Multiplier

The 1.6x Impact Rule

Construction directors love efficiency. Here's how to "buy" more Social Value for less.

Example: Donating a laptop to a local school
Laptop purchase price (inc VAT)£200.00
Purchase VAT recovered (example)-£33.33
Corporation tax relief @ 25%-£41.67
Your net cost£125.00
£125
You spend
£200
Purchase value donated
Illustration: £1 of after-tax cost supports £1.60 of goods

Assumes full recovery of 20% purchase VAT, a deductible expense at 25% corporation tax and a qualifying donation. Tender valuation follows the buyer’s framework.

Local Proof

Bedfordshire-first supply chain

Universal Studios and Luton Rising represent billions in construction investment. Demonstrating local community benefit is critical for winning packages.

CommuniTie is not affiliated with Universal or Luton Rising. We help suppliers on projects like these evidence local giving.

Why local matters

  • Universal United Kingdom (the planned resort near Bedford): Unprecedented scale requires demonstrated community investment from every contractor in the supply chain
  • Luton Rising: Airport expansion is politically sensitive. Local spend evidence strengthens your position
  • Framework requirements: Many frameworks weight local community benefit in evaluation criteria

Postcode-level reporting

Every donation on CommuniTie is tagged with recipient location. Filter and report by:

LU1 - LU7
MK40 - MK45
SG15 - SG19
AL1 - AL5

Prove to evaluators exactly where your Social Value is landing.

From CSR to CSV

Creating Shared Value is the evolution of Corporate Social Responsibility. It's not about philanthropy on the side - it's about building value creation into operations.

Old: CSR

  • • Separate from business operations
  • • Cost centre mindset
  • • "Nice to have" for PR
  • • Difficult to measure ROI

New: CSV

  • • Integrated into tender strategy
  • • Revenue driver through framework wins
  • • Required for contract compliance
  • • Clear 1.6x efficiency metrics

CommuniTie makes CSV practical. Connect donations directly to tender submissions.
