In an era where the Procurement Act 2023 demands greater transparency and tangible outcomes, our Pluggin Marketplace provides the digital infrastructure to transform passive social value obligations into active, high-impact community health, safety and resilience.

DICM Engine

The Pluggin engine which connects, contracts, measures and promotes social value seamlessly between UK communities and public buying groups.

Brand Sponsorship

Business brand sponsorship 100% sustains the Pluggin Marketplace, in return for a central profile from which to showcase social value to public buyers.

Buyer Groups

Regionally, the public buying leaders are driving how social value is best harnessed and targeted on to resourcing lasting community impact.
