The heart of our civic infrastructure is the Pluggin Marketplace, created with and for UK public buying authorities. 

Its true power lies in the deep community embedment, and maximising commercial market forces whilst providing absolute public accountability.

This is a live and dynamic environment, uniquely embedded into 44 public buying geographies to help build supply contracts where supplier social value sits within public-facing collaborations with buyer-approved charities and social enterprises making impact they need... all powered by proprietary technology now providing the digital rails for full transparency and auditability. 

DICM Engine

Our digital engine facilitates, formalises, measures and promotes hundreds of live contract social value collaborations between suppliers and community organisations - linking it all back for buyers to see.

Brand Sponsors

A powerful brand marketing framework enabling suppliers to stand-out within our fast-growing buyer marketplace, a profile page, tools and newsfeed pushing social value updates into our UK buyer partners.

Steering Group

Regionally, our buying partners are leading the drive to better harness contract social value across all local buying groups, to actively tackle community resourcing needs and deliver lasting community impact.

SME Matching

In line with 2026 legislation changes, Tier 1 prime contractors hyper-localise their supply chains within our marketplace, we publish live commercial subcontract spend as audit-ready contract Social Value.
