These businesses are helping us make this marketplace a free collaboration space for everyone, to enable public bodies to support the evolution of impact in local communities.
Strategic Alignment
In Wales, public procurement is governed by a distinct and progressive legislative mandate. Delivering social value is no longer just about generic community benefits; it is 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.
The Pluggin Marketplace (powered by the DICM Engine) features a dedicated Welsh National Layer which ensures that legally obligated business supplier social value from 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 maximize local impact and help suppliers meet their strict contractual duties.
