The Pluggin Marketplace stands at the intersection of public commercial necessity and localised community impact.

Armed with our proprietary DICM Engine our strategic objective is to scale our support for social value within UK public procurement from £2.1 billion in contracted spending to over £10 billion.

This expansion is not just an aspirational target, it is a structurally supported business objective. The regulatory landscape of UK public procurement underwent a tectonic shift following the enactment of the Procurement Act 2023 and the deployment of the new Social Value Model (PPN 002).
