Social Value Delivery partner: empowering Manchester’s built environment

In an era defined by the Procurement Act 2023 and the PPN 002 Social Value Model, delivering tangible, local impact is no longer optional—it is a competitive necessity. Manchester Urban Diggers (MUD) CIC provides developers and tier-1 contractors with a proven, turnkey solution for fulfilling Social Value contractual obligations and Section 106 requirements.

As an award-winning VCSE supply chain partner, MUD bridges the gap between large-scale developments and grassroots community resilience. We don't just provide "green space"; we deliver measurable social outcomes that align with the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) criteria.
