Social Procurement Submission Advisory
Elevate Management Consulting (Elevate) was engaged by a National Facilities Provider to advise on the development of its submission for a State Government Property Maintenance Services Contract. This was a component carrying significant weighting within the tender evaluation process.

Key issues experienced by the National Facilities Provider during the bid process included:
- Compressed bid timelines that limited the opportunity to develop deep, data-rich content for the submission
- Limited access to consistent social procurement data
- Fragmented regional practices
- Bid governance processes that were largely reactive, rather than structured around early evaluation of criteria and clear ownership of response components.
These challenges collectively reduced the overall competitiveness of the submission and highlighted opportunities for the National Facilities Provider to build greater internal alignment and capability in social value delivery.
Elevate supported the National Facilities Provider to deliver a comprehensive output that informed both the immediate bid and future tender readiness. This included:
- A Social Procurement Maturity Assessment identifying current-state strengths and capability gaps across key operational regions
- Insights into priority social cohorts and emerging regional opportunities, guiding investment and partnership opportunities
- Recommendations to enhance tender submission, including review of evaluation criteria and draft content
- A series of recommendations to enhance governance, data management and bid coordination.
The project strengthened their ability to align social procurement objectives with strategic business outcomes, supporting an evidence-based response to the tender.
