The Role of Yeme Community Capital

Independent financial custody and governance within the Yeme Procurement Model.

Yeme Community Capital (YCC) operates post-award only, providing independent financial custody and governance of Social Value contributions committed through the Yeme Procurement Model.

Its role is intentionally narrow. This separation ensures Social Value capital is safeguarded, ring-fenced and deployed strictly in line with agreed purposes, with full audit confidence and clear boundaries between funding, delivery and reporting.

  • Maintains full financial governance, audit trail and assurance
  • Ring-fences funds by contract, place and priority theme

Q

What YCC Doesn't Do

 

  • Participate in procurement bidding or tender evaluation        
  • Design programmes or define delivery outcomes                         
  • Manage delivery partners or operational activity                            
  • Produce supplier outcome or performance reports                    
  • Validate impact results or supplier scores                                         
  • Accept pre-award or speculative funds

Supplier and Buyer Assurance

Confirmation of payment and fund allocation is recorded within the Yeme system and shared with the commissioning authority and supplier.

This confirmation, alongside validated delivery evidence, ensures that evidenced delivery – not just pledged commitments – feeds into supplier assurance and future tender evaluation.
