How the Yeme Procurement Model Works

A structured system separating insight, money, delivery and evidence.

The Yeme Procurement Model is designed to reduce risk, prevent fragmentation and ensure that Social Value funding delivers measurable, auditable outcomes.

Rather than combining insight, funding, delivery and reporting within a single organisation, the model deliberately separates each function. This creates clarity of responsibility, strengthens governance and protects suppliers, contracting authorities and delivery partners.

Yeme Community Capital (YCC) operates within this model as the financial custodian, activating only once a contract has been formally awarded.

The Five Stages

Client Setup

Social Value priorities are defined and embedded into the procurement process. These priorities reflect place-based need and agreed thematic outcomes. No funds are committed and no liability exists at this stage.

Supplier Bidding

Suppliers model indicative Social Value contributions using the Yeme platform. Outputs are simulation-based and used to support tender submissions. All commitments remain indicative. No financial movement takes place.

Contract Award

Once a contract is awarded, Social Value commitments become binding contractual obligations.

Fund Custody

Yeme Community Capital receives, ring-fences and governs Social Value cash contributions in line with agreed contractual purposes. Funds are held and administered within a regulated charitable framework.

Delivery & Evidence

Approved delivery partners undertake activity on the ground. Yeme Tech validates delivery evidence and produces consistent, procurement-ready reporting outputs.      

No Social Value funding moves, and no financial liability exists, until a contract has been formally awarded.
