Our Commitment to Social Value

Creating Lasting Impact Through Compliance, Safety, and Community Value

At Osprey Solent, we believe that responsible health and safety consultancy goes beyond legal compliance. It’s about delivering long-term value to businesses, communities, and the environment.

Through our work in construction health and safety, risk management, fire safety services, and ISO consultancy, we embed social value into every project we support. Whether we’re conducting a fire risk assessment, delivering health and safety training, or implementing a management system, we focus on outcomes that improve lives, enhance environments, and promote inclusive economic growth.

Supporting Clients with Measurable Social Value

Osprey Solent understands the importance of social value in both public and private sector procurement. If your organisation is bidding for contracts under frameworks such as PPN 06/20, we can help demonstrate meaningful social impact.

We assist clients by:

  • Aligning project deliverables with social value outcomes

  • Supporting evidence and reporting for compliance frameworks

  • Contributing to KPIs such as local employment, environmental impact, and community benefit

  • Embedding social value into project planning from day one

What Social Value Means at Osprey Solent

As a trusted health, safety and project partner to construction firms, leisure businesses, engineering workshops, property managers, and other commercial businesses, we understand our broader responsibility. We actively contribute to the UK’s Social Value Model by aligning our services with five key impact areas:

1. Supporting Local Business and Economic Growth

We prioritise working with local suppliers and SMEs to help strengthen regional supply chains. By hiring local consultants and supporting smaller subcontractors, we ensure that our procurement choices create economic value in the communities where our clients operate.

  • Use of regional contractors for fire safety equipment installation

  • Preferential sourcing from small, local suppliers

  • Working with independent consultants to expand opportunities

This commitment contributes to inclusive growth while reducing environmental impact through shorter travel routes and local logistics.

2. Providing Training, Skills & Employment

We’re committed to building safer, better-trained workplaces across the UK. Osprey Solent delivers a wide range of accredited and bespoke training programmes designed to upskill workers at every level.

Our social value in this area includes:

  • Delivering CPD Accredited training and bespoke toolbox talks

  • Supporting apprenticeship pathways in construction and safety roles

  • Mentoring early-career professionals entering the health and safety sector

  • Helping clients implement competence frameworks aligned with ISO 45001

We don’t just promote health and safety — we help grow the next generation of health and safety professionals.

3. Promoting Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive in a safe and supportive working environment. We promote inclusive practices both within our team and when supporting clients to develop equitable policies.

  • Fair employment practices and flexible working

  • Inclusive workplace health and safety guidance

  • Supporting diverse recruitment in construction and technical services

Our consultancy ensures that health and safety systems are accessible, inclusive, and relevant to a diverse workforce.

4. Reducing Environmental Impact

Sustainability is a natural part of our compliance and risk management work. Many of our services help clients reduce their environmental footprint through better planning, hazard control, and resource efficiency.

  • Helping clients align with ISO 14001 environmental management

  • Supporting safe waste handling and hazardous material controls

  • Encouraging digital systems to reduce paper use

  • Using efficient travel routes and remote tools to reduce emissions

Our own internal practices are guided by environmental awareness and continual improvement.

5. Improving Health, Wellbeing & Safety

At the core of our business is a commitment to protecting people. Whether we’re inspecting fire doors, managing CDM compliance, or leading workplace risk assessments, we help clients reduce harm and create safer, more resilient teams.

  • Identifying and controlling workplace hazards

  • Reducing fire risks in commercial and residential properties

  • Supporting mental health awareness through safer environments

  • Promoting positive health and safety culture within organisations

Our proactive approach improves day-to-day wellbeing and reduces long-term occupational risks.
