The Pluggin Marketplace features a dedicated Welsh National Layer.
In Wales, public procurement is governed by a distinct and progressive legislative mandate, where delivering social value is no longer just about generic community benefits.
It's about driving measurable resources directly into the statutory goals of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act 2023.
This means that legally obligated business supplier social value from within Welsh public contracts is seamlessly translated, tracked, and delivered directly into Welsh community health, safety, and resilience objectives.
By automating compliance reporting using the exact policy terminology required by the Senedd, we help public buyers maximise local impact and help suppliers meet their strict contractual duties.
The 6 Pillars of the Welsh Layer
The Pluggin Marketplace's DICM Engine dynamically filters and maps charity-led delivery outputs against six core pillars tailored specifically in support of the Welsh Government, local authorities and Blue Light bodies.
Our DICM Engine makes supplier social value SMART!
When it comes to public procurement within Wales, social value needs to deliver more than promises or just look good on paper.
That's why the Pluggin Marketplace turns social value into a resource which is: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound
Smart Border & Cross-Border Logic
To maintain absolute data integrity for public sector reporting, the Pluggin Marketplace features an automated administrative bridge for border-based operations:
Postcode Default: Organizations operating with an English postcode default to standard UK frameworks.
Administrative Override: For enterprises working across the border (e.g., a charity based on the border delivering services directly into Flintshire or Wrexham), the platform features a manual administrative toggle to the Wales Layer.
Strategic Translation: The engine seamlessly translates cross-border inputs into the correct Welsh nomenclature. For instance, generic "Wellbeing" metrics are automatically mapped into Pillar 2 (Health Equity) or Pillar 5 (Primary Prevention) when generating reports for a Welsh buying group.
The Strategic Value to Welsh Public Buyers
By utilising the Welsh Layer of the Pluggin Marketplace Welsh Assembly buying groups, Local Authorities, and Police Procurement leads gain three critical operational advantages:
Automated Statutory Reporting: Instant generation of social value reports using the precise terminology, goals, and framework metrics mandated by the Senedd.
Frontline Demand Reduction: By channelizing supplier social value into Primary Prevention (Pillar 5) and Youth Diversion (Pillar 6), procurement active works to stop harm and crime before it occurs—safeguarding valuable public and emergency service resources.
True Community Retention: Ensuring that social value wealth generated by major national contracts is captured, retained, and spent hyper-locally within Welsh communities.
